Are you licensed to practice in Missouri?
Athletic Trainers are licensed healthcare
professionals through the Missouri Department of Professional Registration's
Board of Healing Arts. Licensure is NOT optional and athletic trainers
practicing without licensing or with a expired license are subject to new
disciplinary procedures. Any Certified Athletic Trainer who is hired to
work in Missouri, including Graduate Assistants, must apply for and receive
their license before beginning their duties.
Contact the Board of Healing Arts with questions
about licensure at 573-751-0098
