Re: Market Analysis Survey for ATC's

[Guest guest]

Tim,

Try contacting the National Athletic Trainer's Association web site at

NATA.org. They should have the information re. ATC's you are looking for.

The NATA has conducted and/or published several different salary surveys over

the past few years. If memory serves me correctly, the last large-scale

survey results were published in approx. April of 1997. The data presented

in the article was broken down into the various Districts of the NATA so

regional information may be derived. In our area, the salaries have not

budged since then.

The only problem with the data is that certified trainers who had dual

credentials were included (e.g., a Ph.D., PT, ATC who owns a clinic and

submitted data had their salary data included with the data from an

individual who was an ATC alone). Don't hold me to this but...as I remember,

there were a significant number of individuals who were PT, ATC... enough to

push the average salary up. The new grad rates published were right on the

mark for our District.

I'd recommend contacting the NATA for this or the most recent data.

I'd be willing to share the salary range for our organization. You can reach

me at .
