Athletic Trainers Job Description

[DrPoepoat]

Athletic Trainers are not responsible for " wrapping injuries" and "supervising Physical Therapy." They are certified medical professionals, who practice under a physician and are responsible for diagnosing athletic injury, implementing an Exercise Rehabilitation protocol, and managing said injury.

Another qualm I have with the NATA (among other health organizations) is that they use the rod of caduceus (two serpent staff) as their symbol. It represents Hermes, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, gamblers, liars and thieves. They meant to use the rod of Asclepius (one serpent staff), the son of Apollo, practitioner of medicine in ancient Greek mythology. It sends mixed signals wearing the symbol of the guide of the dead, protector of thieves while caring for/treating patients.

She says 'trainer' one too many times for me,... Call them 'Athletic Trainers' or ATC. Great video though!
