Being a sports medicine trainer involves treating athletes in manners of preventive taping measures, rehabilitation with different modalities such as STIM, ultrasound, whirlpool, evaluation of injuries such as Cervical Spine, Concussions, Ankle Injuries, Should Injuries, Back Injuries, etc. A lot of it entails independent learning and mentoring. For example, this is my second year doing it so I’m expected to learn all my competencies (rehabilitation, tape jobs, and more evaluations) by myself and teach 1st year trainers their competencies. Our semester requirement is 150 hours of training. Also, I’m a certified professional rescuer and in first aid.
