Dr. Josh Yellen presented Leadership in Crisis at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update. Shawn ready had some questions to follow up on his talk.

Leadership in COVID –
Planning in athletic – speaking to your AD, your coaches, school leaders…this is one setting.
How do we as qualified healthcare providers help function in the world?
I am Head FOOTBALL Athletic Trainer or I am an AT with a lot of experience with football.
Compare primary care vs AT
There is a shortage of primary care physicians.
The definition of Athletic Trainer and primary care doctor is almost identical
Practicing Scared –
We as directors need to understand the CAATE standards, the state practice acts, and the BOC requirements.
We need to keep pushing into the village of medicine.
PA is a master's degree program but is much more respected.
We were comfortable staying in the sports setting for many years.
To have direct access to patients you have to have a physician oversite.
Bachelor's degrees will not be reimbursed by CMS.
WHY DO WE USE OTHER PROFESSIONS TO EXPLAIN OUR PROFESSION?
Medical Model's effect on Leadership In Crisis –
The Physician is the top and we are all extensions of the physician.
If we do not move into a better role and stake our ground then someone is going to take our role.
Sports Medicine Student Aides – appropriate vernacular is important
This gives the impression that a high school student without training can do your job
