Innovating Care: Telehealth and Entrepreneurial Pathways in Athletic Training

Only available as part of a package

Abstract:
As healthcare delivery evolves, athletic trainers (ATs) must explore innovative models to meet patient needs and expand access. Despite increasing relevance, many ATs lack exposure to telehealth strategies and entrepreneurial pathways, limiting their ability to adapt and lead in emerging markets. This session aims to bridge that gap by fostering dialogue around nontraditional care models, business innovation, and regulatory considerations. Through facilitated discussion, participants will examine real-world applications and challenges, empowering them to reimagine their practice and career potential.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe current and emerging applications of telehealth in athletic training.
  • Analyze entrepreneurial opportunities within and beyond traditional AT settings.
  • Evaluate the challenges and benefits of integrating nontraditional care models into clinical practice.
