How do we do it?
Who?
Hire a Specialist
1
Starting a residency and coordinating all the moving parts is a full time job. This job should be hired through Intermountain hospital based on the growth of the city, and need of medical coverage based on population increase. A budget should then be established to hire at least one full Athletic Trainer per year for the next 5 years to match the areas need. We need some retention of the Ahtletic Trainers we invest in.
CAATE
2
CAATE changes their requirements for accredidation every 5 years. In order to make this residency sustainable we need not only someone working full time as the director who integrates multiple doctors and athletic trainers to build a community.

Build the Foundation
- Funding
- Involvement of Volenteers (Athletic Trainers and Doctors)
- With increase of expectations (certifications/ teaching) there will be a rise in ability/ personal education. Athletic Trainers will need to be certified in specialties to work with residents while doctors will recieve another athletic trainer in the office to assist their time. Less time the doctors spend with patients= more patients= more money.
- Advertisement- draw graduates to Saint George to get paid while getting extra certifications and experience to make them stand out
- Retain the Athletic Trainers graduating from DSU and bring in graduates from other areas to our rapidly growing community.
