About The Position

Join Cleveland Clinic Akron General's Bath 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 PRN outreach role, you will help our Akron group as a whole, floating between various locations. 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.
