Healthcare practitioners have a responsibility to provide care in a manner best suited for the person in need of that care. We work daily with highly diverse populations, and often times there may be instances of subconscious bias and unintentional pre-judgement potentially affecting the way we interact and the clinical decisions we make.  The "Golden Rule" of "treat others the way you wish to be treated" is outdated...it's now the Platinum Rule of "treat others the way they wish to be treated, best suited for them." Having an empathetic approach to cultural competency and a strong understanding of how to foster equity and inclusion in your workplace while mitigating bias can be there difference between effective outcomes and broken rapport. Consider this podcast your Diversity, Inclusion, & Cultural Competency 101 course! Joining Ryan Stevens on this episode is Paula Guitierrez, MHA, CPTC, the Senior Director, Patient and Clinical Trial Engagement at ProKidney, Corp. She was previously Director of Diversity & Inclusion and PROUD Family Health at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset (RWJBarnabas Health).  She has over 15 years of healthcare experience which includes work at NJ Sharing Network - an organization responsible for the allocation of organs and tissues for transplant. Her experience also includes work at NY Presbyterian/Weill Cornell as the Transplant Administrator for the Liver and Kidney/Pancreas Transplant division. A native of Englewood, New Jersey, she went on to graduate from New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelorâs degree in Biology and Seton Hall University with a Masterâs degree in Healthcare Administration. In 2017, she received the Early Careerist Award from the NJ Chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). Paula has knowledge in the design and implementation of programs and strategies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion; such as mitigating unconscious bias in hiring and promotion, mentoring, employee resource groups, diversity target setting and other inclusion practices. She was instrumental in the expansion of RWJBHâs PROUD Family Center, NJâs first LGBT primary health care center affiliated with a major hospital system. In August 2019, she was appointed as Director of PROUD Family Health where she provides day-to-day operational oversight and programmatic growth. Paula, as a Civil Rights Commissioner for Bloomfield Township, NJ, serves as an adjunct professor at Seton Hall Universityâs School of Health and Medical Sciences and sits on the board of directors of the American College of Healthcare Executives NJ Chapter. Her hobbies include travel, dining and hiking with her dog.

We as ATs have a very important duty. Â If we want the future of our profession to be even better than we have it currently, we must provide effective and impactful mentorship for the athletic trainers of the future. There is a purposeful approach to this. Â It's always going to be a valuable conversation when you combine a conversation with an NATA Hall of Famer, a former ATSNJ President, and host Ryan Stevens! Â Ryan had the opportunity to sit down with Tanya Dargusch, LAT, ATC and Eric Schwartz, MS, LAT, ATC, who collaborate as the two athletic trainers serving Washington Township High School in New Jersey. It is no secret Tanya and Eric have done an outstanding job in mentoring future athletic trainers through preceptor affiliations with Rowan University and a successful Washington Township High School Student Aide program. We get deep into it in this episode!

Advocating for the athletic training profession is more important now than it has ever been. Athletic Training profession recognition is at an all-time high. Our profession continues to move in a positive direction, and we as ATs must own our space and own our profession if we wish to continue to see this growth and enhance our value and brand recognition. In this crossover episode, Ryan Stevens was the featured guest on the Athletic Training Chat Podcast. In this episode, Joel Luedke (host of AT Chat) interviewed Ryan on topics such as the personal growth of ourselves as athletic trainers, interprofessional collaboration, and advancing our profession. This audio was originally published on the #ATChat Podcast (repurposed with permission of Joel Leudke). Athletic Training Chat is a podcast which highlights the profession of athletic training, with the goal being to create a platform for any athletic trainer to share their personal story and their perspective on the impact that athletic training can have.  ATChat discusses topics close to each interview guest, and each episode includes the "ATChat 5" question segment. Athletic Training Chat supports and showcases the people that do amazing work for a profession that helps so many. www.athletictrainingchat.com  |  www.clinicallypressed.com Twitter: @ATCchat  | Instagram: AthleticTrainingChat  | Facebook: Athletic Training Chat

Now more than ever, it is important for Certified Athletic Trainers to promote wellness and injury/illness risk abatement in our communities. This is a powerful way to showcase our expertise in a way that educates, outside of the normal "setting" we are typically seen in. Â Doing so increases brand awareness of our profession, our employer, and ourselves and helps to showcase the value you bring as an AT. A key way to do this is via interprofessional PR collaboration on media platforms such as social media videos, podcasts, radio interviews, and tv interviews. Â This throwback episode serves as a thought-provoking example of how Steven Weintraub, DO and I collaborated for the RWJBarnabas Health "RWJ Health Talk" show. Â This audio was taken from our January 2018 TV interview (media is property of www.rwjbh.org).

A key part of success in any injury rehab program or risk abatement program is the ability for the athletic trainer to build rapport and cultivate ownership and accountability in their patients. in this episode Ryan Stevens and Harold Gibbons discuss how they have built this ownership in those they have worked with.
