HRS §436H-13
What a current registration means for an athletic trainer
If you have a current registration, it means you have met the state's requirements, including minimum practice standards, to protect the public. You may use the title 'athletic trainer' and work as one, but you must follow any restrictions or conditions on your registration. For legal purposes, this registration counts as a license.
