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, in both didactic or clinical settings. Furthermore, patients should experience a safe space while under the care of an athletic trainer. While the CAATE, BOC, and NATA have standards and a Code of Ethics to keep the student, patients, and practitioners safe, recent developments demonstrate that there is something missing from education and/or understanding what constitutes sexual harassment.

Objectives:

  • Describe the continuum of sexual exploitation.
  • Explain the steps to take if faced with a sexual harassment situation.
  • Describe whistleblower protections.
  • Create an inclusive environment to prevent unwanted outcomes.
