Where in the World are the Athletic Trainers?

As we all know, it feels like we're constantly under surveillance these days. Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer is keeping track of everything we do! 🎯

(Thats a good thing)

While we're exploring how athletic trainers are moving into diverse settings, what really stands out to me are the 9.49% working in "other" areas and the 6.21% who aren't currently practicing.

That means 15% of certified athletic trainers remain somewhat of a mystery to our profession. While I’m sure they're still making valuable contributions and applying their AT skills in creative new ways, it's a significant portion of our community that is unaccounted for.
