National Athletic Training Month (NATM) is held every March to raise awareness of athletic trainers, licensed health care professionals who prevent, diagnose and treat injuries and medical conditions. The 2026 tagline, chosen by members on social media, is "Care You Can Count On."
What is an Athletic Trainer?
Athletic trainers provide care in schools, colleges, workplaces, clinics and professional sports. They are trained in injury prevention, emergency care and rehabilitation and they work collaboratively with physicians and other health care professionals.
Athletic trainers are medical providers within the health care system and play a critical role in patient safety and injury prevention. Explore the profession.
