Athletic Trainer Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a athletic trainer in Missouri?

You must obtain a license from the Missouri State Board of Registration for Healing Arts to practice as an athletic trainer in the state. Licensure requires graduation from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program at the bachelor's or master's level and a passing score on the Board of Certification examination. Once licensed, you maintain standing through continuing education hours each renewal cycle as set by the board.

How much do athletic trainers make in Missouri?

Athletic trainers in Missouri earn a median of about $58,660 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $47,540 for the lowest 10% to over $70,910 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire athletic trainers in Missouri?

Companies currently hiring athletic trainers in Missouri include Planet Fitness, YMCA, and Mercy, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Missouri's mix of major health systems, public universities, and professional sports franchises creates a diverse employer base that keeps openings active across multiple settings throughout the year.

Which Missouri cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield account for the largest share of athletic trainer openings in Missouri. Kansas City and St. Louis drive volume through their professional sports teams, large hospital networks, and dense clusters of high schools and universities, while Columbia's concentration of University of Missouri athletics and affiliated sports medicine clinics anchors demand in mid-Missouri.

Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Missouri?

Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is fundamentally a hands-on, sideline-and-clinic role, so fully remote positions are the exception rather than the rule. About 9% of athletic trainer openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be administrative, telehealth triage, or clinical coordination roles rather than direct patient-care positions.

How can I get hired as a athletic trainer in Missouri with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a graduate assistantship or staff aide position within a Missouri university athletic department, where supervision structures are built for candidates still completing or recently finishing their CAATE-accredited program. Saint Luke's Health System and University of Missouri Health Care both run sports medicine affiliate and residency-adjacent rotations that serve as practical on-ramps. Holding an active BOC certification and a Missouri license in hand before applying, even as a new graduate, removes the most common screening barrier and puts you ahead of candidates still awaiting credentials.

Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Missouri?

You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Missouri on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, preferred setting, and location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
