MDT, member of the NATA AT Compensation Task Force, interviews Tao Li, MD, PhD, a health care economics expert. The topics discussed include how public institutions and private entities can collaborate with ATs for risk reduction and prevention, the role of relationship building in enhancing health care and strategies for ATs to showcase their value within the health care system.

Discover practical tips for ATs to advocate for their full skill set from a return on investment (ROI) perspective and learn about health care economics resources. This episode is packed with valuable insights for health care professionals aiming to leverage economic principles to improve patient care and demonstrate their worth.

The NATA AT Compensation Task Force was formed in August 2021 with the purpose of investigating what influences compensation for athletic trainers, including economic, social and health care related issues.
 
The “CompensATion ConversATion” series, available through “The NATA-Cast” podcast, focuses on what the task force has identified as the five stages in the life cycle of employment: fundamentals, recruitment, advancement, retention and separation. Each of these cycles will feature an in-depth discussion on potential strategies and solutions to some of the more commonly faced issues found in each stage.
