Athletic Trainer Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a athletic trainer in New York?

To practice as an athletic trainer in New York, you must hold a license issued by the New York State Education Department through the Office of the Professions. You need a degree from a Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education-accredited program and must pass the Board of Certification exam before applying for the state license. New York does not grant reciprocity automatically, so out-of-state candidates must apply through the standard NYSED licensure process.

How much do athletic trainers make in New York?

Athletic trainers in New York earn a median of about $66,230 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,990 for the lowest 10% to over $101,840 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire athletic trainers in New York?

Employers hiring athletic trainers in New York right now include Equinox, Crunch Fitness, and JAG Physical Therapy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. New York's concentration of professional sports franchises, large academic medical centers, and extensive public school districts makes it one of the broadest employer landscapes for this role in the country.

Which New York cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?

New York, Brooklyn, and Rochester have the most athletic trainer openings in New York. New York City dominates because of its dense cluster of professional sports teams, hospital systems, and university athletic programs, while Buffalo's growth reflects Kaleida Health and university expansion, and Albany's openings are driven largely by state agency contracts and Capital Region school districts.

Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in New York?

Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is a hands-on, on-site profession, so the vast majority of roles require physical presence with athletes or patients. About 0% of athletic trainer openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are almost exclusively in administrative, telehealth triage, or clinical coordination capacities rather than direct patient care.

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

The most realistic entry path is a paid or stipended clinical residency through a New York health system such as Hospital for Special Surgery or Northwell Health, both of which run structured post-professional programs for new graduates. Secondary school districts across Long Island and in the Capital Region regularly hire first-year athletic trainers through per-diem contracts that convert to full-time positions. Holding an active NYSED license at the time of application, even if your experience is limited to clinical rotations, gives you a clear hiring advantage over candidates still awaiting licensure.

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

You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current New York openings updated regularly. Find roles that fit your experience and location, then apply directly to the employer through the listing.
