Ep. 144: Tory Hoehn-Career Evolution

Tory is an athletic trainer who works in a supervisory role, in the secondary setting, and also is helping set up a concussion clinic within the organization he works within. Troy has seen and done a lot in his career and now, when you talk to him, he always seems to have added a service role or something else to help with the care of patients and/or the advancement of the athletic training profession.

Personally, I connected with Troy through the NATA Gather’s mentorship area and we have been connecting monthly for about a year now. It’s been a great experience learning from Troy but also having the back and forth of idea exchange and looking at different avenues from different perspectives. Troy shares a lot of knowledge on how things have evolved in his career and what he has learned and also now some new areas he is learning about from personal experience.

Ep. 143: Dr. Sam Arrendondo-ATs: The Whole Toolbox

Sam is an athletic trainer working in the industrial setting and is also a member of the Industrial Athletic Trainers Society. Sam had a tweet that went viral through #ATtwitter. The tweet focused on how vast the skillset is for athletic trainers and where we fit into the healthcare world. In this episode, we talked about what inspired the tweet and more of the meanings behind it. There are some great insights into the athletic training profession.

Tweet: 

“Athletic training is one of the most valuable healthcare professions and that’s why it’s still misunderstood. Hard to find another healthcare profession that has the orthopedic and gen med knowledge, sideline evaluation skills we have and that’s cutting the list very, very short.

So many other healthcare professions are easy to understand because what you see them do, is typically what they do primarily. When you see what an AT does once, that might just be them using that skill ONCE. People simply don’t understand EVERYTHING we are skilled at doing.

We are the most adaptable, multi-skilled healthcare provider out there. Simply the availability of having an AT around is tremendous. We aren’t the Swiss Army knife, we’re the whole toolbox.”

In This Episode:

+ATs are not the Swiss army knife, they are the whole toolbox

+Showcasing ATs behind the scenes

+Return of $3-4 for every $1 invested

+Implementing changes in the industrial setting

+Generalist specialist
