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 Jerseys athletes.
