What is AT placement and what does it mean for you?
Athletic trainers are essential for keeping athletes healthy and safe. Their presence is crucial during sporting events, whether it’s a practice, game, or tournament. Athletic trainers are skilled professionals who can quickly respond to injuries, providing immediate care and preventing further harm. This quick response is vital in managing injuries effectively and ensuring athletes can recover swiftly and safely.
Beyond The Game - The Cost Efficiency of Athletic Trainers
Athletic Trainers (ATs) are highly trained professionals required to complete between 800-900 clinical hours during their studies to get their degree. ATs must be knowledgeable in everything from preseason physicals to emergency care, injury treatment and diagnosis, clinical exams, therapeutic interventions, when and how to refer athletes to practitioners, as well as administration and legal responsibilities. ATs significantly impact athlete health, resulting in lower injury rates, improved diagnosis and informed return-to-play decisions for injuries such as concussion, and fewer recurrent injuries.
The Age of Virtual Athletic Trainers
Athletic Trainers (ATs) play a crucial role in supporting prevention, recognition and diagnosis of athlete injuries. In the United States alone, 1 in 3 high schools do not have access to ATs. Athletic Trainers not only promote athlete welfare but also have the potential to yield significant savings for parents and organizations through reduced healthcare expenditures. If each state employed a full time AT, they could save an estimated $14.7 million annually.
