An athletic trainer is a qualified allied health care professional, educated and experienced in the management of health care problems associated with sport participation. In cooperation with physicians and other allied health care personnel, the athletic trainer functions as an integral member of the athletic health care team in secondary schools, colleges and universities, professional sports programs, sports medicine clinics, and other athletic health care settings.

Through a combination of formal classroom instruction and clinical experience, the program prepares graduates to assume entry-level positions in the athletic training profession and provides a foundation for advanced study in athletic training. The student must satisfactorily complete all academic requirements as well as the supervised practical experience hours as set forth by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) guidelines for Athletic Trainers. The ETBU Department of Kinesiology does not guarantee that each person admitted to the Athletic Training Education Program will pass all elements of the program or that those graduating from the program will be able to pass the licensing exam. The attainment of these goals is dependent upon the degree to which the students diligently apply themselves to their studies.

East Texas Baptist University’s legacy, beginning with establishing the College of Marshall 106 years ago, remains committed to Christ by meeting students where they are and propelling them to where God has called them to be. With another year of record enrollment, ETBU proclaims God’s truths and equips His disciples as described in the mission statement.

As a Christ-centered institution, East Texas Baptist University educates students by integrating biblical faith and learning to develop mind, body, and soul through community engagement to prepare graduates to be Christian servant leaders in their calling to God and humanity.
