All Things Per Diem Athletic Training - K. Ellis Mair, EdM, ATC (Go4Ellis)
At different points of our professional careers, most athletic trainers dabble in per diem work, either as an independent contractor or through an employer. Per diem athletic training is a fantastic way to build experience, grow your network, add additional income, and establish foundations for future jobs. When it comes to working as a per diem athletic trainer, it is not as simple as just showing up and providing excellent care. In this episode, Ryan Stevens sat down with K. Ellis Mair, founder of Go4Ellis, to discuss her journey and "all things per diem", many aspects which any athletic trainer at any level needs to consider when working in this capacity.
Ellis Mair graduated from Penn State University in 2009 with her Bachelors in Kinesiology in the Athletic Training Option. She worked in the Secondary School setting where she was the head athletic trainer for Monsignor Bonner High School. She began working per diem work in 2010 with NXTsports. In 2011, she was brought on as the Participant Health and Safety Consultant for NXT. In 2013, she attended Boston University where she worked as a graduate assistant and staff athletic trainer. Upon obtaining her Masters in Health Education from BU, she returned home to Philadelphia to become the Director of Participant Health and Safety for the largest youth lacrosse company in the country. In 2016, Ellis had an idea to streamline and professionalize the per diem setting. She and a few colleagues decided to create Go4Ellis. Currently, Ellis is the Co-Founder of Go4Ellis, the athletic training app that links athletic trainers with per diem work opportunities. She is the Chair of the National Athletic Trainers' Association Youth Sports Work Group. Ellis currently sits on the Board of Directors for Schema and the Fishtown Neighbors' Association. Her garden was named a 2019 Garden of Distinction by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. She currently lives in Philadelphia and is a proud dog momma to a labrador and mastiff. You can reach Ellis at [email protected] and at www.go4ellis.com.
