Athletic Training<br />
Athletic training is an exciting and fast-paced allied medical profession. As an integral member of the athletic<br />
healthcare team, the certified athletic trainer (ATC) is educated in the prevention, treatment, evaluation and<br />
rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and illnesses sustained by physically active people. Certified athletic<br />
trainers work closely with medical professionals in a wide range of settings that include high schools, colleges<br />
and universities, professional teams, sports medicine clinics, corporate fitness facilities and hospitals.<br />
In 2005, <strong>Wilmington</strong>’s athletic training program earned the maximum seven-year accreditation from<br />
the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Students completing the Bachelor<br />
of Science degree program at WC are eligible for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of<br />
Certification (NATABOC) examination to become a certified athletic trainer. Students also are eligible for the Ohio<br />
licensing exam upon earning their ATC credentials. All athletic training students are considered pre-professional<br />
during their first two semesters. After satisfactory completion of the pre-professional requirements, students<br />
are advanced to the professional phase of the curriculum, including advanced clinical education.<br />
wC Athletic training scholarship<br />
All students accepted into the athletic training program<br />
receive $5,000 in scholarships over three years. Students<br />
receive $1,500 their sophomore and junior years and $2,000<br />
