Proclamation of
Athletic Training Week in
New Jersey
Certified Athletic Trainers
(ATCs) are allied health care professionals specifically educated to
provide medical care to athletes and the physically active. “
The American Medical Association
(AMA) approved a resolution in 1998 calling for certified athletic trainers
in all interscholastic athletic programs. The AMA recommends all schools
with sports programs to establish “policies for first-aid, referral
of injured participants, treatment, rehabilitation and certification
for return to participation.” Athletic trainers across the state
carry out that role for many of New Jersey’s athletes.
