Don’t be that preceptor who is just trying to get CEUs or the one who only uses MAT students as grunt labor. Being a Mentor is a choice.  A choice to give of yourself for the good of others.  So is adoption.  DJ tell me some of your adoption story. Taylor has been such a fantastic part of our life.  She is a part of my life as an Athletic Trainer and my life as a preceptor and mentor. Worst preceptor story you have heard? Worst mistake I made as a preceptor was right out of Grad School. My responsibility is to the team and athletes, not the students. I did not want to invest in the students I did not want to give up control I only allowed them to set up the field It is finally my time to be the Licensed Health Care Provider and make decisions It is about me now Communicate the roles and expectations Some other bad examples? I am not getting any feedback I am doing what they ask but I am not getting any feedback How to avoid being average as a preceptor: Do not complain about students on social media What are some of the struggles for preceptors? Accountability Set expectations Have an orientation What can the program cover before the kids get to you What do you need to cover Dress code Look at this as a semester-long interview process. For scheduling purposes We try to keep a really structured process Immersion should be a minimum 40 hours per week 85 hours /2 weeks 1 day off every 7 And at least 8 hours between shifts Shout out to my administrators and my co-worker for giving us the opportunity to be preceptors for U of H MAT. JP: I felt like my hands were being held the whole time… I was either setting up the field or observing.

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.
