In the past most athletic events have not had qualified medical personnel on site during competition. The EMS system was used when a severe injury occurred, but lesser injuries were often ignored, and left untreated.
With a Certified Athletic Trainer on-site, during the event, the athletes have a trained professional available whose priority is injury prevention and emergency care. This allows the coaches and event organizers to concentrate on their responsibilities, knowing that the athletes are being cared for properly.
IRG’s Athletic Trainers are certified by the National Athletic Trainer’s Association’s Board of Certification. This is the only Board recognized by the AMA to certify athletic trainers.
