It’s not something you hear of every day, but many physical therapists collaborate with certified athletic trainers (ATCs) inside their clinics. Jim Stoker, PT is back on the show with Nathan Shields to share with us his secret for a more effective utilization of ATCs. From his 25+ years of experience working with ATCs in the past, he has found a way to use them in a way that is collaborative and a shared benefit to the community, and allows PT owners to not bear the financial burden. Taking a big step further from traditional collaborative paradigms, Jim co-created Play Safe, a nonprofit that accepts charitable contributions, employs the athletic trainer and then contracts and provides that athletic trainer to the high school.
