RE: ATC use in hospitals

[Guest guest]

Eileen,

We do employ ATC's here at our hospital through our rehab department. I

would be happy to talk with you in depth and describe how we use ATCs.

You are correct in that we cannot use ATCs to deliver therapy services

with the exception of using them in an " aide " capacity. We do not do

this due to the vast divide between the going rate of pay for an aide

and the going rate for an ATC in our area. I can be reached at

.

Have a great day.

Does anyone currently employ ATCs for providing sports team coverage for

their local schools?

Our Administration is looking to do this and I would appreciate any

feedback or pros and cons for this set up.

If you do use an ATC to cover school sports programs do you utilize them

in any other way outside of the school year? I know they can not provide

any physical therapy treatments - does anyone use them as an aide? Or a

mobility tech in an inpatient setting? Any comments would be

appreciated. Feel free to contact me directly if you wish.

we do employ 1 ATC for local high school coverage and she runs a sports clinic

for us once a week to help the athletes, the goal of this program was to

identify athletes that may need rehab. This program has worked out well at times

and other times not that great. I think that it is still a great program to have

for pr and marketing for the local high schools.

We do not utilize our athletic trainers in the inpatient setting at all. In

addition to outreach to our schools, we use them for sports enhancement training

and community education programs.
