New Mexico State employs five full-time certified athletic trainers, six athletic training graduate assistants and supervised undergraduate athletic training students. The athletic training staff, under the direction of Director of Sports Medicine Dominic Moreno, oversees the daily care of more than 400 of NM State's student-athletes. A certified athletic trainer is on-site for all NM State home events and in-season practices/conditioning sessions.

The athletic training staff at NM State works closely with the strength and conditioning staff and local medical professionals in the prevention and care of injuries.

The staff also works in conjunction with the Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP), where students will earn a bachelor's degree in athletic training education. Students of the ATEP have the opportunity to receive hands-on experience working with student-athletes in all 17 varsity sports.
