Athletic Trainer Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an athletic trainer in Pennsylvania?
To practice as an athletic trainer in Pennsylvania, you must hold an active license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine. Licensure requires graduation from a Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) accredited program and a passing score on the Board of Certification examination. Most Pennsylvania employers expect candidates to have the BOC credential in hand before their start date, and the State Board of Medicine processes applications through its online portal.
How much do athletic trainers make in Pennsylvania?
Athletic trainers in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $61,060 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $46,960 for the lowest 10% to over $77,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire athletic trainers in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring athletic trainers in Pennsylvania right now include Crunch Fitness, NovaCare, and LA Fitness, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of large academic medical centers and Division I universities means health system outpatient clinics and collegiate athletics programs are among the most consistent sources of openings across the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Bensalem are the Pennsylvania cities with the most athletic trainer openings. Philadelphia's density of health systems, professional sports franchises, and universities drives the largest share of listings, while Pittsburgh's anchor institutions including UPMC and Carnegie Mellon University support steady demand, and smaller markets like Allentown reflect growing outpatient and occupational health clinic networks in the Lehigh Valley region.
Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is a hands-on clinical role, so the overwhelming majority of positions require on-site presence with athletes, patients, or workers. About 2% of athletic trainer openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those exceptions tend to be in telehealth consultation, injury prevention program coordination, or administrative and education-facing roles rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as an athletic trainer in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a clinical rotation or practicum placement that converts into a full-time offer, which CAATE-accredited programs at schools such as Temple University and Duquesne University regularly facilitate with affiliated clinical sites. New graduates should target outpatient sports medicine clinics, high school contracted positions, and hospital-based athletic training programs, where entry-level and staff athletic trainer titles are the standard starting point. Completing Pennsylvania licensure before applying and holding an up-to-date BOC credential are the two factors that move a new-grad application forward fastest.
