  • Opioids and our Patients: What an Athletic Trainer Needs to Know
    Contains 5 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Athletic trainers work with patients who frequently are involved in activities that can result in injury and pain which may lead to being prescribed opioids. Assisting and helping our patients manage associated pain and management of opioids is critical to the healthcare provider when considering the well-being of our patients. Case studies and scenarios will be provided to illustrate the role athletic trainers play as a health care provider while looking at current and best practices of prescribing opioids and how to apply the lifesaving drug naloxone.
