PLEASE view this video!
It underscores the importance social media has not only on millennials, but on all generations. How, you may ask, does this apply to me if I am an clinical athletic trainer? A teaching athletic trainer? In so many ways!
As a clinician, it may mean we think of a variety of ways in which we can provide care to our patients. Perhaps the use of video feeds, on-line resources, skype, and or adobe connect to interact and communicate rehabilitation protocol for our patients.
As an educator, the video underscores the importance social media has. This, in turn, should be reason enough to have ATEP educators begin to think outside the box when teaching. This may help to more actively engage our students in the classroom. We also know that the 'traditional' classroom of being a physical place is also changing. There are progressive academic institutions that are providing on-line teaching for entire programs, not only for a class or two. My belief is that we will begin to see a growth in on-line ATEPs in the not-too-distant future. Let's begin to prepare ourselves for both the challenges and excitement this type of teaching delivery can offer!
