Dr. Matthew Drescher earned his DAT and is enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Indiana State University. Dr. Nikki Harris earned her DAT and is enrolled in a Ph.D. program. Scott Mullet just enrolled in a Ed.D program.

How have your young professionals been able to balance the workload and earning a doctoral degree?
Start practicing good time management now.
Make sure the stakeholders in your life are fully aware of the demands.

How can I use my Doctoral degree in AT?

It is a multiplier
“What can you not do?”
Any funding available for earning these doctorates?
Athletic Trainers do a really bad job of asking…we just assume there is not any.
University settings usually have terminal degree programs if you stay on for a certain amount of time.
Preceptors can earn credits at certain programs.
