“Passing the BOC doesn't automatically prepare you for every real-world clinical situation.” What do you wish your clinical education had prepared you for better?

I haven’t gotten too far into the social media tab yet, so forgive me if this has already been covered! On the call yesterday, Jenna talked about having both a business account and a personal account, posting to both, sharing content, etc. I’m curious what everyone has found to be the most effective approach. Is it better to focus on creating and posting content primarily on a business account and then sharing it to your personal account, or is there a benefit to posting separately on both? I have a pretty solid foundation of followers on my personal account, including a lot of ATs, so I’d like to take advantage of that audience but don’t want to bombard my non-AT followers with what they will see as just spamming content. At the same time, I like the idea of starting fresh with a dedicated account focused strictly on athletic training. Hopefully that makes sense! I’d love to hear what has worked best for others and any advice you might have.

Hi everyone! Introducing myself, I am currently in the collegiate setting working WBB but more importantly I just launched my own business, CultivATe Careers 2 weeks ago. Our main focus is to provide the service of supporting the AT through the job search/ interview process. We meet with clients to learn their career needs/ wants & we curate a list of relevant positions. We do this as long as is needed for the AT to find the right position. We then provide review of interview materials and interview prep/practice to help you land the job you are looking for. Follow us on IG: @cultivate_atcareers !

I'm interested to see what y'all say about this one... When an athlete presents with pain but still wants to compete, what factors carry the most weight in your decision to treat and monitor, modify participation, or refer them out? And I'll be more specific - senior football player, came back from ACL reconstruction on the left, and tore his right last week. 3 games left in the season. What do you do...

What’s the biggest issue facing the athletic training profession right now? If you vote and would like to elaborate, please do so in the comments.
