Integrating Athletic Trainers into Orthopedic Care: Roles, Regulations, and Residency Preparation

Unlock practice efficiency with Certified Athletic Trainers (ATs). Learn how ATs boost throughput, elevate patient education, support surgery, and grow DME revenue—while freeing providers for billable care. We’ll also map the steps to launch an AT residency: align with state practice acts, define rotations and competencies, secure physician champions, integrate onboarding/BCS-O pathways, and track impact (throughput, imaging orders, surgical volume, satisfaction). Templates, checklists, and sample curricula included.
