As a part of the school healthcare team, services provided by athletic trainers include primary care, injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Athletic trainers are trained to recognize general medical conditions, injuries, and illnesses. They also possess the unique ability to write, communicate, and provide emergency care, which is critical for stabilizing an athlete before EMS arrives.
