JOB DETAILS
Join Cleveland Clinic Akron General's Stow Health and Wellness Center and become
part of a top healthcare system in Akron. This patient-friendly facility offers
a variety of primary care, emergency care and specialty services along with
Lifestyles, a medically based fitness program and facility.
Athletic trainers are educated as medical professionals (which differentiates
them from fitness or personal trainers) and work with impairment, functional
limitations, and disabilities. They work with emergency, acute, and chronic
cases and are not only involved with diagnosing and aiding patients but also
working preventatively to ensure the patient's future health and success. They
learn risk management and injury prevention, pathology and acute care of
injuries and illnesses, nutrition, rehabilitative practices and more. In this
outreach role, you will be assigned to a specific school and provide services to
student athletes.
The Cleveland Clinic Athletic Training Department provides multiple continuing
education events throughout the year. We also hold a catastrophic injury lab for
all Athletic Trainers, fellows and team physicians annually. As you advance your
skills within this role, you may also move into senior-level positions.

* For Athletic Trainers working in a clinical/ambulatory setting: perform a
comprehensive health maintenance review, provide an oral report to the

of the visit into the medical record by remaining in the exam room with the
