- There has been a great deal of research devoted to athletic training burnout pre COVID, but as attrition is still a big problem in this profession, athletic trainers are not aware of this information. This presentation is designed to educate the athletic trainer of relevant ‘burnout’ research and through this knowledge utilize recognition and coping skills to move from attrition to retention.
-By participating in this program, athletic trainers will be better equipped to recognize the signs and symptoms of burnout in themselves and their colleagues and apply appropriate strategies that can help mitigate burn out. Though implementing proper coping strategies, we hope to retain more athletic trainers in the profession and improve job satisfaction.
- Acute injuries or chronic conditions involving the patella in athletes can lead to pain and dysfunction that may effect that person for the majority of their lives. Early recognition and treatment is what makes the difference in short and long-term outcomes. Some athletic trainers may lack the experience necessary to correctly identify patellar instability early enough to help prevent further injury such as patellar subluxation or dislocation.
-By participating in this course, the athletic trainer will be better equipped to properly assess athletes with patellar instability. Early recognition and proper management of these injuries will lead to the athlete receiving appropriate care, improved outcomes, and a greater long term outlook of maintaining proper function of their knee.
