Certification through the BOC confirms that an athletic trainer has the necessary knowledge and skills to provide safe and effective sports medicine care. It also promotes ongoing professional development and holds practitioners accountable to industry standards. In essence, the BOC helps maintain high-quality healthcare for athletes and active individuals by ensuring certified athletic trainers are qualified and competent.
