Sports Medicine Broadcast

Dr. Josh Yellen presented Leadership in Crisis at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update. Shawn ready had some questions to follow up on his talk.

Leadership in COVID – Planning in athletic – speaking to your AD, your coaches, school leaders…this is one setting.

How do we as qualified healthcare providers help function in the world?

I am Head FOOTBALL Athletic Trainer or I am an AT with a lot of experience with football.

Compare primary care vs ATThere is a shortage of primary care physicians.

The definition of Athletic Trainer and primary care doctor is almost identical

Practicing Scared – We as directors need to understand the CAATE standards, the state practice acts, and the BOC requirements.

We need to keep pushing into the village of medicine.

PA is a master’s degree program but is much more respected.

We were comfortable staying in the sports setting for many years.

To have direct access to patients you have to have a physician oversite.

Bachelor’s degrees will not be reimbursed by CMS.

WHY DO WE USE OTHER PROFESSIONS TO EXPLAIN OUR PROFESSION?

Medical Model’s effect on Leadership In Crisis – The Physician is the top and we are all extensions of the physician.

If we do not move into a better role and stake our ground then someone is going to take our role.

Sports Medicine Student Aides – appropriate vernacular is important

This gives the impression that a high school student without training can do your job
