Emma started with basically an empty room and was given $700 for her first budget, but that was only after whittling down her proposed items about a dozen times.  She is really learning to make do with the bare minimum and connect with other resources to furnish and grow her ATR.

Should students be allowed to tape?  evaluate and ankle with the ATC standing over them?  are we teaching them to act outside of what they are trained to do?  Dr. Yellen is sometimes thought of as an “elitist” in Athletic Training because he says they should basically be first aid and water helpers.  Josh Woodall is current president of SWATA and follows similar guidelines as a full time practicing secondary Athletic Trainer.

Critical Incident Stress Management – 219

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

At my district we are moving forward with implementing tools and policy to better serve the medical providers in the event of a critical incident at work.  Athletic trainers do not normally deal with the death of an athlete, parent or coach.  Even less often is when they perform life saving measures and still lose the person.  We are not Emergency Department employees that see this daily and we also have a relationship built with those people.  Please look into improving a really rotten situation before it happens.

Essential Oils in the ATR – 218

Essential Oils are a mythical sort of thing for some of us.  I have heard they cure or heal all sorts of things, I have been told that if you swipe this oil on you after you have been around people that it will prevent you from getting sick.  I have also watched those same people get sick several times.  Here we will speak with respectable athletic trainers about the use of Essential Oils in the Athletic Training room, some best practices, some contraindications and things to avoid.

We have created an army of lifesavers in Pasadena.  Over 700 kids this year have been trained in CPR and life saving skills.  in the last 3 years we have trained over 2100 students.  After next year we will have trained essentially each student at Pasadena High School in Life Saving skills.

It is a lot of work, but looking at the impact this can have it is worth every second of work.

There are a lot of people involved in this process and I am so thankful for their support.

Pasadena High School
Pasadena Health Center
Memorial Hermann
Bayshore Hospital
Airrosti
City of Pasadena
American Heart Association
East Texas Medical Center EMS
