Athletic trainers have been recognized by the American Medical Association as allied health care professionals since the early 1990s. To be eligible for board certification, athletic training students must graduate from an accredited undergraduate or graduate athletic training curriculum, which consists of course work and clinical experience in several areas, including assessment and evaluation, acute care, general medical conditions, and pathology of injury and illness. Athletic trainers must hold a minimum of a bachelor’s degree from an accredited program. In addition to board certification, many states regulate the athletic training profession through licensure, registration, or certification.
