Presentation Description:

This webinar, designed for BOC Athletic Trainers, delves into the crucial alignment of emergency care protocols and guidelines with the available equipment and the training or qualifications of the athletic trainers. As medical emergencies in athletic settings can occur without warning, it's paramount that athletic trainers are equipped with the right tools and knowledge. This presentation will review current standards, identify common gaps, and offer practical solutions to ensure comprehensive preparedness.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will learn how to evaluate their current emergency protocols against best practice standards and legal requirements.
2. Understand the importance of regular equipment checks and how to align equipment with current emergency care protocols.
3. Learn strategies for ensuring that staff training and qualifications are up-to-date and aligned with the needs of the emergency care protocols.

Clinical Practice Gap Statement:

There exists a significant gap in many athletic settings between the established emergency care protocols and the actual readiness regarding equipment and staff qualifications. This discrepancy can lead to ineffective or delayed care during medical emergencies. The goal of this webinar is to identify these gaps and propose actionable steps for athletic trainers to ensure that their emergency care protocols, equipment, and training are fully aligned and compliant with the best practices and standards.
