Clinical Bottom Line: In the ever-evolving landscape of athletic training, staying current with technological advancements is vital. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT has the potential to significantly enhance work efficiency and emergency care. However, there exists a gap in knowledge and practical application among BOC athletic trainers and athletic training students. Many are unfamiliar with the capabilities and benefits of AI, limiting their ability to harness this technology's full potential in improving patient outcomes and optimizing daily practice. Bridging this gap through education and training is essential to ensure that athletic trainers can fully leverage AI to meet the evolving demands of their profession. Summary Conclusions: The inexorable march of technology compels us to incorporate AI, such as ChatGPT, into clinical practice; it's not just an option, but a necessity to enhance work efficiency and elevate emergency care within sports medicine. ChatGPT serves as a vital resource, granting us immediate access to information and decision support; this expeditious response mechanism, while optimizing our use of time, ensures precision in addressing critical scenarios. The integration of AI should be seen as an empowerment tool rather than a substitute; by assimilating AI-driven solutions into our clinical framework, we empower ourselves to provide more adept care to athletes, streamline daily tasks, and refocus on patient welfare, the core tenet of our profession. Recognizing the learning curve associated with AI, it becomes incumbent upon healthcare providers to address this knowledge gap; sustained educational endeavors and comprehensive training initiatives are vital components to equip practitioners with the competencies required to harness AI's multifaceted potential.
