Certified Athletic Trainer Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a certified athletic trainer in Michigan?
You must graduate from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program, pass the Board of Certification examination, and then apply for a license through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, which oversees athletic trainer licensure in the state. Michigan requires an active BOC credential to maintain your state license. Most employers also expect CPR and AED certification before your start date.

Certified 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 certified athletic trainers in Michigan?
Employers hiring certified athletic trainers in Michigan right now include Planet Fitness, The Edge Fitness Clubs, and Corewell Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Michigan's combination of major health systems, large public universities, and professional sports franchises makes it one of the more diverse hiring markets for athletic trainers in the Midwest.
Which Michigan cities have the most certified athletic trainer jobs?
The cities with the most certified athletic trainer openings in Michigan are Detroit, Livonia, and Grand Rapids. Detroit's concentration of hospital-affiliated sports medicine programs and professional sports teams drives volume in the metro, while Ann Arbor's demand is anchored by the University of Michigan's expansive athletics and health system, and Lansing reflects both state government employment and Michigan State University's athletic programs.
Are there remote certified athletic trainer jobs in Michigan?
Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact, so the vast majority of positions are on-site. About 18% of certified athletic trainer openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be administrative, telehealth coordination, or sports science consulting roles rather than traditional clinical practice.

The most realistic entry path is securing a graduate assistant or clinical residency position at a Michigan university athletic department, with programs at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan regularly placing new graduates. Secondary school districts in the Detroit metro and Grand Rapids area also hire entry-level athletic trainers as sole practitioners, which builds broad clinical exposure quickly. Candidates who already hold their BOC credential and Michigan state license before applying stand out, and experience in kinesiology aide or physical therapy technician roles is a recognized stepping stone among Michigan health systems.
