Athletic Trainer Jobs in Louisiana: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a athletic trainer in Louisiana?
To become an athletic trainer in Louisiana, you must earn a degree from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program, pass the Board of Certification exam, and obtain a license from the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners. Louisiana requires licensure before practicing, and applications are submitted directly to the board. Most employers expect candidates to hold both the BOC credential and an active Louisiana license before their start date.
How much do athletic trainers make in Louisiana?
Athletic trainers in Louisiana earn a median of about $62,760 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,120 for the lowest 10% to over $78,880 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire athletic trainers in Louisiana?
Louisiana athletic trainer roles are posted by Ochsner Health, Planet Fitness, and Crunch Fitness and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Louisiana's mix of large hospital systems, university athletic departments, and NFL and NBA-affiliated training programs generates steady demand across the state.
Which Louisiana cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?
Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Slidell have the most athletic trainer openings in Louisiana right now. New Orleans drives volume through its professional sports teams, Ochsner Health's sports medicine network, and Tulane University, while Baton Rouge benefits from LSU's large athletic program and regional hospital-based clinics, and Shreveport's openings are anchored by its secondary school and regional medical employer base.
Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Louisiana?
Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is a hands-on clinical role, so most positions require on-site presence. About 0% of athletic trainer openings tied to Louisiana are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to involve administrative coordination, telehealth consultation, or program management rather than direct athlete care.
How can I get hired as a athletic trainer in Louisiana with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a graduate assistant or clinical rotation position through a Louisiana university athletic department, such as LSU, Tulane, or UNO, which regularly bring on new graduates in supervised roles. Secondary school athletic trainer positions funded through school district budgets are also accessible entry points for candidates without experience. Holding your Louisiana license and BOC credential before applying sets you apart, and lateral moves from exercise science or physical therapy aide roles can open the door at hospital-based sports medicine clinics like those within the Ochsner or LSU Health systems.
Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Louisiana?
You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Louisiana on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your credentials and location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
