Show Me the Money: A Secondary School AT Guide to Contracts and Work-Life Balance
By Frank Walters, PhD, LAT, ATC, and Jason Viel, MS, LAT, ATC
This course will help distinguish a variety of items included in a true compensation package. It aims to compare contract negotiation strategies, and examine how to cultivate relationships among athletic training coworkers within an outreach organization. It seeks to determine how to gauge opportunities available via their employer for their chosen career path.
Sports Medicine: Biomechanical Evaluation and Management of Common Foot and Ankle Conditions in Athletic Patients
By Edward S. Glaser, DPM
The purpose of this course is to describe how arch posture and timing alter foot function and load transfer during the athletic gait cycle. It aims to identify at least three athletic presentations where excessive pronation contributes to symptoms and explain the Maximum Arch Supination Stabilization (MASS) posture rationale for intervention (e.g., patellofemoral pain, plantar heel pain, medial tibial stress) and give insight into the MASS posture rationale for intervention. It seeks to describe how MASS Posture full-contact, calibrated orthoses can restore stability and improve gait economy in athletes, using sport-specific examples. It will also outline key sport-footwear considerations (cleats, spikes, tight toe-boxes, dress/work) when recommending MASS posture orthoses, including cover length, shell width and heel cup depth as well as calibration principles.
Trust the Tech: Clinical Judgement Meets Large Language Models (AI for ATs)
By Jeremy Howard, EdD, LAT, ATC
This course will help ATs understand universal distribution of artificial intelligence to mitigate stigma around AI. It also aims to distinguish between high-quality and low-quality generative AI products. Participants will learn how to implement AI into their clinical practice in compliance with both HIPAA, federal law restricting release of medical information, and FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
