Athletic Trainer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a athletic trainer in Massachusetts?
To work as an athletic trainer in Massachusetts, you must hold a license issued by the Massachusetts Board of Allied Health Professions. Licensure requires graduation from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program and passage of the Board of Certification exam. Once licensed, you must renew through the Board and complete continuing education to maintain good standing. Most Massachusetts employers require both active state licensure and current BOC certification before your start date.
How much do athletic trainers make in Massachusetts?
Athletic trainers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $70,010 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,560 for the lowest 10% to over $104,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire athletic trainers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring athletic trainers in Massachusetts right now include Life Time, Equinox, and Healthtrax Fitness & Wellness, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of research hospitals, Division I universities, and outpatient sports medicine clinics means openings appear regularly across clinical, collegiate, and secondary school settings throughout the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?
Boston, Newton, and Concord have the most athletic trainer openings in Massachusetts. Boston drives the largest share of demand given its dense concentration of teaching hospitals, professional sports teams, and universities, while Worcester and Springfield contribute openings tied to regional hospital systems and collegiate athletic programs in their respective areas.
Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is fundamentally a hands-on, on-site profession, so fully remote positions represent a small fraction of available roles. About 3% of athletic trainer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those that exist typically involve administrative, telehealth consultation, or injury prevention program coordination duties rather than direct clinical coverage.
How can I get hired as a athletic trainer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a graduate assistant or entry-level staff athletic trainer position through a Massachusetts college or university, where new graduates with a CAATE-accredited degree and a pending or newly obtained BOC certification are regularly considered. Large hospital-affiliated outpatient clinics such as those within the Mass General Brigham and Beth Israel Lahey Health networks also hire athletic trainers for per-diem and part-time school coverage roles that do not require extensive experience. Completing your Massachusetts Board of Allied Health Professions licensure application early and gaining hours through clinical rotations at Massachusetts institutions makes your candidacy significantly stronger when applying to these entry-level roles.
Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your credentials and preferred setting, and apply directly to each position that fits.
