What are the responsibilities and job description for the Clinical Athletic Trainer position at Alliance Health System?
Clinical Athletic Trainer
Alliance Orthopedics, the region's most dynamic multidisciplinary practice, is seeking an energetic, motivated, and articulate team player to join our team! Our Clinical Athletic Trainers provide direct patient care working side-by-side with our conservative care team of chiropractors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologists, and more!
