NATA 2023 was an amazing time and we enjoyed every minute of it. While we were there we hosted a “live” podcast recording where past and future guests came by to talk about convention and what it means to them and the innovation they had seen over their AT career.  We got to do this at the Mueller Sports Medicine booth and reflect on all they had done over 60 years in sports medicine. This is part 1 of 2 of that recording. Thanks again to everyone that came by and looking forward to more recordings coming soon.

If you’ve followed Joel on social media you may have seen his posts on #ATAT where he takes concepts from outside of the profession that impact people in how they interact with people and lead and applies them to the athletic training profession. The goal these audio recordings are to take those posts and expand on them through the audio format (maybe longer form print in the future as well). This is an introductory episode to highlight what is coming. If you find these helpful, please let us know. If it is clogging up the ATChat feed, we would also like to hear that as well so we don’t take away from the other episodes.  Thank you all for listening and we hope you enjoy. #ATCchat #ATC #ATAT #atimpact #at4all #athletictraining #athletictrainingchat #health #medicine #medical #medicalprofessional #professional #LAT #ATSarehealthcare #ATtwitter  #begreAT #equALLYATs #essentialtohealthcare --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/athletictrainingchat/support

We have Dr. Kim Barber Foss on the podcast before but many things have changed for here since that time, including her credentials. As you see it is now Dr. Barber Foss. In our first conversation with her we discussed clinical research and how it is important to have clinic influenced research to help keep the scientific community moving forward. Since then Dr. Barber Foss made a huge switch from being in the secondary setting for the past 30 years to now working entirely in research. In this episode we talk about everything that has happened over the last ~1.5 years and what she is up to now with Emory SPARC. We discuss some high level research that is occurring but also discuss the epidemiological work that she did for her dissertation but hopes to continue to do in the future moving forward.

Throughout her time she has been typically working with a co-worker but recently has been working as a solo AT.
