  1. Advantages/Disadvantages of Non-Traditional Athletic Training Settings Kristen Gieniec

  2. “Today, athletic trainers can be found working in a wide variety of “non-traditional” settings. Not only do athletic trainers work in hospitals, corporations, industrial settings, but have delved out into the world of NASCAR racing, NASA, rodeo, police and fire safety to name a few. Potential for employment as an athletic trainer is left only to the imagination and creative problem solving of current vocational trends and shortages.” -Jeanna Polonchek, Ed.D, ATC

  4. Why Hire Athletic Trainers? • It is shown that if a company can hire a health care professional to rehabilitate their injured employees, the costs of treatment decrease drastically. • If an employee is treated on site by an ATC for example, the ATC is an employee of the company so that is the only cost the company needs to pay.

  5. In turn the insurance costs decrease drastically. • Another benefit of having an ATC on site for rehabilitation purposes is that employees in need of rehab will miss less work if the rehab is on site.
