Abstract:
Sexual harassment is a growing concern in all settings. Athletic trainers should feel safe in their jobs. Athletic training students should feel safe in their programs, whether in the didactic or clinical setting. The CAATE creates standards to keep the students safe, the BOC has Standards of Practice, the NATA has the Code of Ethics, all of which should protect the practitioner, the student, and the patients from sexual harassment. However, recent developments demonstrate that there is something missing from education and understanding what constitutes sexual harassment.

Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to describe the continuum of sexual exploitation., 
  • Participants will be able to devise a plan for training athletic training students and/or staff on sexual harassment., 
  • Participants will be able to explain the steps to take if faced with a sexual harassment situation.
