We also discuss how the timing lines up with California’s push for licensure and getting key stakeholders to support ATs in their pursuit of requiring a license.

In this next installment of our Student Series, we got to talk with Ashley Cameron who just recently finished her master’s degree in athletic training at the University of Idaho. Ashley shared her story on how she came across the athletic training profession and how she has been involved with it in some fashion for quite some time. We discussed why she was drawn to athletic training and how she stuck with the profession throughout her journey and didn’t truly consider other professions.

Ashley shares some of the lessons she learned along the way as a student and from her different clinical experiences. Ashley also shares advice she would have liked to receive and how she thinks it can help athletic trainer students in the future. This was a great conversation with some great take aways. Enjoy.

Ken Cieslak is a DC, AT but doesn’t necessarily use the skills in that order. In this episode, we discuss how it came to be that Ken pursued a chiropractic degree while keeping his AT credential and then ultimately staying predominately in the AT profession in the SSAT. It definitely surprised us. In this episode, we talk about how he came to be dual credentialed and what that has meant to his career. We also discuss evidence-based practice and what that means to him and how he employs it on a daily basis in his care of patients.We also cover service in the athletic training profession and what that means and why it is so important to Ken. Needless to say we cover a lot of ground in this conversation and took a lot away from it. We hope you do too.In this Episode:+AT focused work with the DC credential as well+AT Salary vs. Private Practice+DC info and knowledge base in the AT setting+EBP, patient expectation, and the placebo effect+Service in athletic trainingwww.athletictrainingchat.comwww.cliniallypressed.orgSUBSCRIBE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc3WyCs2lmnKK6shrL5A4hw?sub_confirmation=1#ATchat #ATC #atimpact #at4all #nata #boc #bocatc #athletictraining #athletictrainingchat #health #medicine #medical #medicalprofessional #professional #advancement #SSAT #DC #chiropractic #service #presidentelect

Access Nourishment started as a school project and quickly evolved into a calling that could be something more. Dr. Shelby Gonser and Louise Shines connected on the project and while they both took slightly different angles to the impact nutrition can have, both of them benefit ATs and the patients they care for.

In this episode, we hear the story of how Access Nourishment got started. Shelby and Louise share each of their passions around nutrition and how eating “healthy” as an AT isn’t always easy and being able to provide good nutritional information to patients can be challenging. In the discussion they discuss what they have found so far and what resources they are hoping to put together to grow Access Nourishment to the benefit of everyone. Check it out.

In this Episode

+Understanding food insecurity

+How Access Nourishment got started

+Eating “Healthy” on a budget
