Athletic Trainer
Duties and Responsibilities: Are health care professionals who
collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care,
clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and
medical conditions. Athletic training is often confused with personal
training. There is, however, a large difference in the education, skillset, job
duties and patients of an athletic trainer and a personal trainer. Athletic
trainers provide physical medicine, rehabilitative and preventative services.
Athletic trainers treat a breadth of patients, including but not limited to:
professional, college, secondary school and youth athletes, dancers, musicians
and military personnel. Athletic trainers work can work in a variety of locations
including schools, physician clinics, and hospitals and manufacturing plants.
Salary: $38,681
Education: The minimum requirement for most athletic trainer
positions is a bachelor's degree, but many of these professionals have a
graduate degree. Athletic training bachelor's programs incorporate classroom
and hands-on learning. The curricula include science and health-related
subjects, such as nutrition, kinesiology, bio-mechanics and exercise physiology.
Experience requirements include supervised time in clinics and internships,
which may be with a college or local professional sports teams. Athletic
training programs cover many healthcare-related areas, including pharmacology,
acute care and pathology. Because many trainers go on to earn a master's
degree, some schools offer a five-year joint bachelor's and master's program.
Other programs may require students to complete prerequisites before they are
admitted.
Reflection: I think
that I don’t like be an athletic trainer because the salary is no is much and you
should be very prepared for be one and you have do your work very carefully.
