According to a recent R.A.I.S.E. update from MCPS Athletics, there continues to be a shortage of athletic trainers impacting MCPS and school districts across the state with vendors continuing to work tirelessly to hire the remaining positions.
Vacant full-time positions are being filled based on the availability of athletic trainers, including commuting distance for the candidate. All schools without a full-time athletic trainer are receiving part-time in-person coverage, as well as other resources and support such as telehealth, coach consulting, injury management, and training room office hours. Coverage schedules and services are available at the local school; please contact your coach or athletics specialist for additional information. Answers to frequently asked questions are here.
Community members who know interested candidates should contact Dr. Jeffrey Sullivan, director of systemwide athletics or Mrs. Angela McIntosh-Davis, director of procurement.
