As the Professional Licensing Boards enter the busy season, we would like to remind you that we experience a significant increase in the volume of applications, phone calls, emails and other requests that we receive. This causes delays in our processing and response times.
Our current processing time is up to four (4) weeks from the date that a complete application has been received. It is extremely critical that applicants carefully review the application instructions and submit a complete packet with all requirements met. Any missing documents or incomplete items may increase the processing time. This is the most common delay to licensure.
Other requests such as license verifications may take up to three (3) weeks during this period.
Lastly, when contacting our office, please only leave one voicemail or send us one email. Multiple calls or emails will further delay response time and processing. Your questions are important to us, and we will do our best to respond as soon as possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time!

The Board of Athletic Training was created in 2009.
The State Board of Athletic Training is legislatively mandated to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Wyoming by ensuring that those individuals licensed to provide these athletic training services in this state are appropriately qualified.
Anyone who is practicing athletic training as defined in statute:
"Practice of athletic training" means the application of the principles and methods of prevention, recognition, evaluation and assessment of athletic injuries and illnesses, immediate care of athletic injuries including common injuries, medical emergencies, psychosocial intervention and referral, conditioning and rehabilitative exercise, nutritional aspects of injuries and illnesses, the use of therapeutic modalities, proper healthcare administration, professional development and the understanding and education of applications, precautions, interactions, indications and contraindications of pharmacology for athletes. "Practice of athletic training" does not include the practice of physical therapy as defined in W.S. 33-25-101(a)(i).
The Athletic Training Act is also a Title Act, meaning no one can use the title of Athletic Trainer in Wyoming without a license through the Board.
