Statement Regarding State Licensure Ethics Requirement

The Athletic Training Licensure Board was created in 1990 as part of Ohio Senate Bill 80. The function of this board is to interpret, implement and regulate the practice of athletic training in Ohio.

The law's definition of athletic training is "the practice of prevention, recognition, and assessment of athletic injury and the complete management, treatment, disposition, and reconditioning of acute athletic injuries upon the referral of a practitioner licensed under Chapter 4731 of the Revised Code.....". Athletic training also includes organization and administration of educational programs and athletic facilities, and the education of and consulting with the public as it pertains to athletic training.

According to this law no person may represent themselves as an athletic trainer or use the title "Athletic Trainer" or "Certified Athletic Trainer" or use the letters "A.T.,C.", "ATC", "L/ATC" , or "C.A.T." unless licensed.
