Athletic Training
About
Mesa Community College Athletic Training staff is dedicated to the health and well-being of 400+ student-athletes that participate throughout 16 athletic programs. The goal of the staff is to provide comprehensive sports medicine services through prevention and treatment of athletic injuries.
A Certified Athletic Trainer or ATC is an allied health care professional that specializes in the prevention, evaluation, treatment, management and rehabilitation of athletic related injuries and illnesses. Certified Athletic Trainers provide emergency care/first aid for an athletic injury. In addition they manage continuing injuries as well as rehabilitate and physically recondition athletic injuries, incurred by a student-athlete in practice or athletic contest, in an effort to return student-athletes safely to the field of competition. Certified Athletic Trainers are recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA).
