  • Mass Participation Event Coverage
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Providing quality care to a large group of athletic participants at an event requires careful planning and organization. Education of the medical team, rehearsal of tasks that may be needed in an emergent situation, discussion of how each encounter was handled and recommendations for improvement are essential event planning tasks. The athletic trainer can play an integral role in the development and management of these plans in addition to assisting in care.
