On this episode, we interview Dan Fronczak, founder of Healthy Roster. Dan isn’t an athletic trainer and his route to creating an electronic medical record system focused on athletic trainers is far from a traditional story. Dan shares his history and how he ultimately came to the idea of Healthy Roster and what building that foundation looked like. Dan highlights that from the beginning they worked with athletic trainers to make sure that the features they were looking to add and implement made sense for those in the profession and that has been a constant along the way.

Dan goes further into what makes Healthy Roster unique. He discusses how everything they focus on now, and into the future, is tailored to making the athletic trainers' life as easy as possible when it comes to patient care. Dan also hints at a new announcement that if you follow them you know was the official launch of their CEU platform within Healthy Roster on 10/31/2024. It was great to hear from Dan and how he is impacting the profession while keeping the needs of ATs at the heart of it.

Being someone that is there, behind the scenes that a lot of times is considered a thankless job.

Di’kademe/: a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different.

Jen Xu is a minimalist shoe enthusiast in addition to everything else she has going on. Jen is currently a PhD student at the University of Virginia, doing stand up comedy, taking care of a new puppy and writing on Medium. This discussion came up when Jen posted about the importance of the details and nuance that come with moving into minimalist shoes. This idea grew into the conversation we had about the importance of nuance in everything athletic training.

That I get to help someone keep doing what they love or what they have to do in order to survive.

Karen Fennell is the outgoing NATA COPA chair and as much as we tried to schedule this episode before then, schedules didn’t line up. In this episode, Karen dives deep into what COPA is and their charge as a committee. She discusses the inner workings of COPA and how the committee is set up. It was interesting to hear how surprisingly large the committee is. 

Karen also discusses how the committee has evolved over time and adapted to the changes in the athletic training profession. Karen also makes a great point on the importance of the wording around “emerging” and “non-foundational” settings and why she chooses to use “non-foundational”. I learned a ton in this episode and have a better understanding of COPA and the NATA. Check it out. 

In This Episode:

+What is COPA.

+Managing so many areas with a large committee

+The history of COPA, back to 1987.

+Connect with the right people

+”Non-foundational” settings

Dr. Breitbach has done a lot in his career and worked in many different settings prior to moving into academics. From there he has been a program director and now works as a vice dean and professor and his research focuses on interprofessional education and collaborative practice. Dr. Breitbach has been deeply involved with this area of research and education through the courses he teaches at Saint Louis University.

I’ve gotten a lot better at this, but leaving work at work. Reinforcing those boundaries.

The idea that works tends to expand so as to fill the time available for its completion.

Everyone needs to find your passion and really for me writing the Substack.
