Iowa State University

Certified Athletic Trainers are allied medical health care professionals who specialize in risk reduction, wellness, health literacy, assessment, evaluation, diagnosis, critical incident management, and therapeutic intervention of injuries. To gain certification as an athletic trainer, candidates must graduate from a CAATE accredited athletic training education program and successfully pass the Board of Certification (BOC) examination. In addition, most states have licensure requirements to practice athletic training. The ISU Athletic Training undergraduate education program has been CAATE accredited since 2001 and has transitioned to a Professional Master's program. The Athletic Training program at Iowa State University includes various athletic training clinical rotations including high school settings, physical therapy and university settings, physician offices, surgical and emergency department observations, and immersive clinical opportunities in orthopedic and non-orthopedic settings.
