performance and function.
A key aspect of the athletic trainer’s (AT) education and training is in the area of prevention and risk management.
The AT is the front‐line professional charged with this duty. Many individuals come to activity in less than ideal
condition. They may suffer from disorders such as sickle‐cell trait , diabetes, or have other conditions predisposing
them to injury or illness. Pre‐participation screenings are critical to identifying risks and putting prevention plans into
action. Additional prevention and risk management strategies undertaken by the AT range from on‐site reviews for
hazards, monitoring environmental conditions, and educating participants on nutrition and performance-enhancing
drugs to monitoring for overtraining, maintenance of clinical and treatment areas, and development of emergency
action plans.
Task

Description
Minimize risk of injury and illness of individuals and groups impacted by or involved in a specific
activity through awareness, education, and intervention.
Identify and educate individual(s) and groups through appropriate communication methods (e.g.,
verbal, written) about the appropriate use of personal equipment (e.g., clothing, shoes, protective
gear, and braces) by following accepted procedures and guidelines.

Description
Implementing standard evaluation techniques and
formulating a clinical impression for the
determination of a course of action.
An AT may be asked to perform in one or more distinct evaluation areas: 1) the pre‐participation examination which
assists in determining the readiness of an individual to participate in physical activities; 2) an on‐field evaluation for
acute conditions that had occurred during activity using the primary and secondary survey models; 3) a clinical
evaluation, often occurring in a clinical or athletic training facility; and 4) the ongoing evaluation of progress of an
injury or illness assisting the AT in advancing or modifying current care and making return to play decisions.
Through the use of a sequential evaluation process and with the understanding of the injury pathology and any co‐
morbidities of the affected individual, the AT provides a clinical diagnosis, determines appropriate immediate care,
and establishes short- and long-term goals for the affected individual.
Task
Description
Obtain an individual’s history through observation, interview, and/or review of relevant records to
0201
assess current or potential injury, illness, or health‐related condition.
Examine by appropriate visual and palpation techniques the involved area(s) of an individual’s body to
0202
determine the type and extent of the injury, illness, or health-related condition.
Examine by appropriate and specific tests (e.g., ROM, special tests, neurological tests) the involved
0203
area(s) of an individual’s body to determine the type and extent of the injury, illness, or health‐related
condition.
Formulate a clinical diagnosis by interpreting the signs, symptoms, and predisposing factors of the
0204
injury, illness, or health‐related condition to determine the appropriate course of action.
Educate the appropriate individual(s) about the clinical evaluation by communicating information
0205
about the current or potential injury, illness, or health‐related condition to encourage compliance with
recommended care.

performance and function.
Following injury, the AT serves as the clinician who designs, administers and executes a plan of care. Included within
this plan of care is the implementation of appropriate techniques, procedures, practices and methods that are
designed to provide the patient with optimal outcomes. Acting under the direction of a physician and within the scope
of practice acts and/or BOC Standards of Professional Practice, the athletic trainer provides a plan of care that is
realized through the evaluation of the patient.
Protection from additional insult and appropriate steps toward optimal recovery are included in the AT’s plan and
execution of care. Effective and clear communication to the patient and appropriate individuals concerned with the
patient’s care is critical to achieving full return to activity. Treatment objectives are outlined using short- and long‐
term goals. These goals are achieved using appropriate treatment/rehabilitation methods available to the AT.
Selection of various treatment/rehabilitation modes is based on sound rationale, appropriate standards of health
care, reliable clinical judgment and when available, evidence based medicine.
Task
Description
Administer therapeutic and conditioning exercise(s) using appropriate techniques and procedures in
0401
order to aid recovery and restoration of function.
Administer therapeutic modalities (e.g., electromagnetic, manual, mechanical) using appropriate
0402
techniques and procedures based on the individual’s phase of recovery to restore functioning.
Apply braces, splints, or other assistive devices according to appropriate practices in order to facilitate
0403
injury protection to achieve optimal functioning for the individual.
Administer treatment for injury, illness, and/or health‐related conditions using appropriate methods to
0404
facilitate injury protection, recovery, and/or optimal functioning for individual(s).

Description
Understanding and adhering to approved
Organizational and Professional Health and
organizational and professional practices and
5
Well‐being
guidelines to ensure individual and organizational
well‐being.
ATs are charged with many responsibilities including: (1) injury/illness prevention and wellness protection; (2)
clinical evaluation and diagnosis; (3) immediate and emergency are; and (4) treatment and rehabilitation. However,
in order to properly implement any type of comprehensive athletic-training services, an organization must
demonstrate and support an appropriate level of organizational and professional health and well‐being. Together,
organizational and professional health and well‐being are defined as an organization’s or professional association’s
ability to function effectively, to cope adequately, to change appropriately, and to grow from within. It is also the
process by which the AT empowers patients and employees in the improvement of their health‐related physical,
mental and social well‐being as well has physical and professional well‐being of the institution and/or organization.
Whether covering a youth soccer tournament, working in one of several hospital satellite clinics, or running a
collegiate athletic training program, the AT relies on these practices, standards, and guidelines. Maintenance of
records and accurate documentation is mandatory for communication, reimbursement, risk management, and
determining best practices. Emergency action plans with consideration for staffing, coordination of resources, liability,
and equipment reduce the risk to the individual and organization. When organizing a healthcare team or making
referrals related to injuries, illness and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, the AT must be knowledgeable of their scope of
practice and the state statutes that regulate their profession and the health professionals with whom they work.
Additionally the AT engages in ongoing professional education to ensure the care provided by the organization and
healthcare professionals adheres to best practices. For organizations and professions to maintain financial health, the
AT must demonstrate the ability to utilize basic internal business skills including strategic planning, human resource
management, budgeting, and facility design. They must be able to apply external business skills, such as marketing
and public relations to support organizational sustainability, growth, and development.
Task
Description
Apply basic internal business functions (e.g., business planning, financial operations, staffing) to
0501
support individual and organizational growth and development.
Apply basic external business functions (e.g., marketing and public relations) to support organizational
0502
sustainability, growth, and development.
Maintain records and documentation that comply with organizational, association, and regulatory
0503
standards to provide quality of care and to enable internal surveillance for program validation and
evidence‐based interventions.
Demonstrate appropriate planning for coordination of resources (e.g., personnel, equipment, liability,
0504
scope of service) in event medical management and emergency action plans.
Demonstrate an understanding of statutory and regulatory provisions and professional standards of
0505
the practice of Athletic Training in order to provide for the safety and welfare of individual(s) and
groups.
