Abstract: 

Risk management, emergency action planning, and crisis management planning are not skills that are critically examined and/or routinely rehearsed by most athletic trainers and/or athletic administrators. When a critical event occurs, the athletic trainers are often times the first medical providers on the scene and must be knowledgeable and skilled in managing these emergent situations. However, cognitive knowledge of the clinical aspects of the emergency situation is not the only necessary prerequisite. Athletic trainers must be knowledgeable and skilled in managing the various administrative aspects of emergency and crisis situations as well. Athletic Trainers must also fully understand the role of and interrelatedness of emergency triage procedures, indident command procedures, and the inter-disciplinary healthcare team approach for preparing for and managing the various emvergency and crisis situations that can occur.
