Abstract: 

Athletic trainers practicing in clinical settings are subject to varying work schedules due to the complexity of athletic practices/ events. Athletic trainers are highly qualified health care professionals and provide unique medical services to patients. Many athletic training positions are housed in departments among non-medical personnel. Due to this misclassification, job descriptions, specifications and salaries have the potential to be determined disproportionately to the care provided. This persisting issue can create undue job strain leading to chronic stress and burnout.
