What is Athletic Training?
Athletic Trainers are highly educated and skilled professionals specializing in athletic health care. As part of a complete healthcare team, the Athletic Trainer works under the direction of a physician and in cooperation with other healthcare professionals, athletic administrators, coaches and parents.
Athletic Training is recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA) as an allied healthcare profession.
The AMA recommends Athletic Trainers in every high school to keep America's youth safe and healthy.
Specifically, the BOC Certified Athletic Trainer has demonstrated knowledge and skill in six practice areas or domains:
Prevention
Clinical Evaluation and Diagnosis Immediate Care
Treatment, Rehabilitation and Reconditioning
Organization and Administration
Professional Responsibility
Athletic Training Aides Club:
The purpose of the Athletic Training Aides club is to give real world experience to those interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. Clinton County Middle School students participating in this club will be given the opportunity to participate in the healthcare of Clinton County Middle School student athletes under the supervision of certified Athletic Trainers, EMTs, team physicians, etc. Athletic training aides will eventually get the unique experience of being able to be present on the sidelines of Clinton County home athletic events while being taught the concepts of injury prevention, management, assessment, and rehabilitation.
The students will be given the opportunity to assist the Athletic Trainer with all aspects of the day to day tasks of the athletic training room during various athletic seasons. With that said, participation in the club is voluntary, but will require time, dedication, and will be treated as a job.
Objectives:
For students to learn and gain hands-on experience
To provide a way for non-athletic students to be involved
To encourage students to attend camps, classes, etc.,
