The Athletic Trainer performs professional work involved in the preventative and on-site care of students in the athletic program. Under direction, the employee researches, advises, and coordinates programs of preventative care and therapeutic treatment for student athletes, and provides immediate first-aid and referrals to outside providers in emergencies and other injury or illness situations as appropriate. Public contact is extensive and primarily involves students and staff for the purpose of exchanging information related to prevention, care, and therapeutic treatment of sports-related injuries. A high degree of independent judgment and creativity is required to analyze and interpret data for the resolution of frequent minor and occasional major problems that arise. Consequences of errors in judgment can be costly in student health and employee time. An Athletic Trainer is not a medical practitioner and is limited to providing first aid and therapeutic treatments and making referrals to medical practitioners. An Athletic Trainer can lead the work of other staff and student assistants as assigned.

The duties of certain classes of jobs are subject to fluctuations in daily working hours which are not susceptible to administrative control. As a consequence, the Board, in accordance with Education Code Section 88026, exempts these classes from overtime compensation for service in excess of the hours in the workday, but agrees that hours worked in excess of the hours in a workweek, or for hours worked on a holiday, will be compensated on an overtime basis. The classes to which this section applies are: Athletic Trainer, Theatre Technician/Events Coordinator, Theatre Events Manager, and KCSM Underwriter.
