Athletic Training is an area of sports medicine that focuses on prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of athletic injuries and diseases. Certified Athletic Trainers work with team physicians, exercise physiologists, physical therapists and coaches in the care and prevention of illness and injuries related to sports and exercise.

Coursework provides hands-on, practical experience and classroom exposure to this career. Students can earn their Associates degree and then transfer to a four-year college or university. The Pre-Athletic Training emphasis provides students with the general requirements and pre-requisites to enter a professional athletic training program curriculum.

It is recommended that students contact professional schools they are interested in attending to ensure that their admission requirements are properly met. Students should also discuss their professional ambitions with their advisor in order to get recommendations of courses that will best prepare them for their choice of programs.
