Athletic trainers are medical specialists who work alongside doctors and healthcare teams to deliver preventive care, emergency treatment, clinical assessments, therapeutic solutions, and injury rehabilitation.
These professionals work in diverse environments such as high schools, higher education institutions, rehab clinics, medical practices, hospitals, performing arts organizations, armed forces, public safety agencies, and corporate settings. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 23% growth in athletic training jobs.
UCF's Master of Athletic Training (MAT) is a six-semester graduate degree. Dedicated instructors and clinical mentors emphasize outstanding education and patient care to guide students toward becoming certified athletic trainers.
