Frequently asked questions
Holding the NATA-BOC board certification and CPR/AED certification are foundational for athletic trainers in Delaware. Additionally, securing any required state licensure ensures compliance with local regulations, vital for practicing safely and legally within Hockessin and Wilmington areas.
Engaging with Goldey Beacom College's D-II sports programs offers exposure to diverse varsity sports and collaboration with a multidisciplinary sports medicine team. This environment fosters skill development, professional networking, and hands-on experience with collegiate athletes, boosting career advancement.
Daily tasks typically involve injury prevention through taping or bracing, responding to on-field emergencies, rehabilitation program design, and coordinating care with sports medicine experts. Flexibility is key, as hours vary depending on games and practices.
Select Medical supports career advancement by offering access to a nationwide professional network, continuing education through free CEUs, and potential 401(k) matching after meeting hourly thresholds, empowering trainers to expand skills and benefits.
This role integrates direct collegiate athletic program involvement, multidisciplinary team collaboration, and a PRN schedule tailored to game-day demands. Compared to other Delaware sports trainer jobs, it emphasizes higher education sports medicine settings and dynamic athlete care.
Wilmington's demand for certified athletic trainers is steady due to active collegiate and high school sports. Candidates with local licensure, NATA certification, and experience in collegiate settings tend to have an edge. Considering commute options around Hockessin and Wilmington also matters.
Starting pay is approximately $40 per hour, reflecting competitive rates for PRN athletic trainers in Delaware's collegiate sports sector. This hourly wage aligns with part-time, flexible schedules and is commensurate with relevant experience and certifications.
Collaborating within Select Medical's diverse sports medicine team provides rich resource access and interdisciplinary support, enhancing care quality. However, balancing a variable PRN schedule with unpredictable athletic events requires adaptability and strong time management.
While a master's degree enhances theoretical knowledge, hands-on collegiate athletic training experience is highly valued for practical skills and familiarity with athlete demands. Both contribute to effectiveness, but experience often directly impacts job readiness.
Select Medical mandates NATA-BOC certification and CPR/AED credentials, alongside any state-specific athletic training licenses. Meeting Delaware’s regulatory requirements ensures compliance and eligibility to serve athletes within the company’s network.
