Houston is home to one the leading medical centers in the world.  There is a doctor, neighborhood ER, Physical Therapist and every kind of specialist you can think of within 45 minutes (half of that is time is due to traffic and lights)

Laura Manning works in a small rural community.  There are absolutely some benefits to being in a small community where everyone knows you and pulls together, but as a medical provider you have to be ready to do more with less.

Here we discuss some of the challenges and benefits facing a small town healthcare provider.

Having a good relationship with a medical supplier like School Health can be a great way to be prepared. Win a gift card by registering HERE

Terra Davenport joins the podcast to discuss how she has been able to provide Compassionate Care for All by incorporating students with special needs into her sports medicine program.  Up to this point I have no first hand experience providing opportunities for special needs student.  I have been asked by one student, but that student never came back to talk to me.   So join us as we look at the multiple perspectives and thought process you need to consider in your program.

In preparation for a recent podcast I asked:

What are some odd things you have seen as an Athletic Trainer? Kid with a stroke; Eyeball popped out of head? @ATCanonymous

— Jeremy Jackson (@MrJeremyJackson) February 2, 2018

I got a lot of great stories and knew we had to share them here on the podcast.

Possibly my two favorite were

* Dislocated shoulder while napping and

* Sprained ankle while napping.

Bubba Wilson joins me as we read these tweets and add some commentary.  I loved these responses. I have screenshotted most of them and pasted them in the show notes.

Also, Laurie Beth gave a shout out to her mentor Leah Cox and we read it on the show.  Always remember the ones who got you here.

Cathy Supak and Thomas Petmecky were student athletic trainers together at Southwest Texas State University.  That university has since deteriorated with age and a new one has been built to replace it called Texas State University

They have 66 years of experience combined and have seen many things that seem strange or did just not seem right.

My favorite story is Thomas's last.  If nothing else skip to the end and here his last story of a kid putting his shoulder back in place.

John Cieko and Cathy Supak join the Sports Medicine Broadcast to help us understand ways to develop student leaders in Athletic Training.

Recently we talked with Johnny Gomez, Mary Miller, Mike Harrison, and Chay Nersesian about Team Building in Athletic Training student programs.  one of the topics they mentioned was having student leaders and giving them ownership.

John has begun lecturing at workshops on leadership and Cathy has been developing leaders in AT for many years.

Join us and grow your program to where you want it to be over the course of time.

There are no overnight successes.
