The “Tactical” Athletic Trainer: Healthcare for the Military

Authors

  • Benito J. Velasquez

Abstract

As a certified and state licensed clinician in the athletic training profession, I administer treatment and therapy based on my educational background. My patients are active individuals including athletes and recreational sports participants. Over my 30+ years, I’ve treated others such as police officers or those involved in dance and performing arts. The educational preparation and job setting, as well as responsibilities for an athletic trainer have changed greatly over the years. Once the traditional setting was mostly high schools, colleges and universities, with a small percentage employed in professional sports.
