‪Athletic Trainers are also educators! While not an official domain, many Athletic Trainers also volunteer as preceptors for AT students or directly work in AT Education Programs. #ThankYourMentorToday #NATM2019 #LEGOatc ‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/BvoOJZ0BWYN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12zk0dgtaaafj

‪Athletic Trainers also have administrative roles such as policy and facility design. Here the athletic trainer meets with the contractor to go over details of a facility renovation. #AllThatHGTVPaidOff #NATM2019 #LEGOatc ‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/BvidJwhFl6e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4scp9nidnz9w

While ATs try to prevent injuries, when they do occur the Athletic Trainer is there to utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions to get their patients back. #ThisIsWhereWeGetCreative #WorldsHardestHopstacleCourse #NATM2019 #LEGOatc https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcLxDph3SR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q3qoxbtwewph

One of the Athletic Trainers’ most recognizable skills is the clinical evaluation and diagnosis of injuries. ATs utilize everything from orthopedic tests to xrays to diagnose an injury or illness. #CriticalThinkingSkills #CorrectDxHappyDace #NATM2019 #LEGOatc https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaET9BhqIS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16gkvil79a7bd

‪Athletic Trainers are also trained to respond to emergencies on the field. This means lots of equipment to respond to everything from a cardiac event to a suspected spinal cord injury. Just don’t forget to tell the AT where practice is! #LEGOatc #NATM2019 #WeDontPackLight ‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu5OfsslR-h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vdfmu8ljbxa3

An important component of the healthcare ATs provide is the prevention of illnesses and injuries. Athletic Trainers can perform preparticipation exams, including basic vision tests, to find any health conditions that could make participation a risk. #ATsAreHealthcare #natm2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BukJslmhrTS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uavmq346vrmg
