Athletic Trainer Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an athletic trainer in Michigan?
To work as an athletic trainer in Michigan, you must hold a license issued by the Michigan Board of Athletic Trainers, which is part of the Bureau of Professional Licensing. Licensure requires graduating from a Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE)-accredited program and passing the Board of Certification exam. Most Michigan employers expect at minimum a bachelor's degree, and many clinical and collegiate roles increasingly prefer a master's degree in athletic training.
How much do athletic trainers make in Michigan?
Athletic trainers in Michigan earn a median of about $59,280 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $46,580 for the lowest 10% to over $74,790 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire athletic trainers in Michigan?
Employers hiring athletic trainers in Michigan right now include Crunch Fitness, Corewell Health, and Henry Ford Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Michigan's mix of large health systems, major universities, K-12 school districts, and industrial employers across the auto sector creates steady demand throughout the year.
Which Michigan cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?
Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Rochester Hills have the most athletic trainer openings in Michigan. Detroit leads because of its concentration of large hospital systems, professional sports franchises, and industrial worksites, while Ann Arbor's openings are driven by the University of Michigan's extensive collegiate athletics and Michigan Medicine's sports medicine programs, and Grand Rapids reflects a growing network of regional health systems and mid-sized universities.
Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Michigan?
Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is fundamentally hands-on, requiring direct patient and athlete evaluation, so most Michigan roles are on-site. About 10% of athletic trainer openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve telehealth triage, program coordination, or consulting rather than direct clinical care.
How can I get hired as an athletic trainer in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to clinical rotations or graduate assistant positions at Michigan's universities and health systems while completing or just after completing an accredited program. Large employers such as Michigan Medicine and Spectrum Health offer new-graduate clinical associate roles and structured onboarding for candidates without independent experience. Moving from a physical therapy technician or strength and conditioning aide role is a common lateral path. Holding your BOC credential and Michigan license on day one is the single biggest competitive advantage for candidates without work history.
