Athletic Training is an allied health profession with a specialization focusing on the total health needs of the athlete. Working under the supervision of a team physician athletic trainers are responsible for the prevention and care of athletic injuries. This is accomplished through the development and implementation of conditioning programs, the analysis and encouragement of proper biomechanics, the fitting of protective equipment, the administration of proper first aid and injury assessment procedures, and the implementation of appropriate rehabilitation procedures. Kean University offers a BS degree in Athletic Training accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. Graduating students receive their degree and then qualify to take the Board of Certification Examination (BOC). Under the governance of the State Board of Medical Examiners, those New Jersey residents who pass the BOC Exam can qualify to be licensed and work as an athletic trainer in New Jersey.
