PSA for all ppl that have AT’s as friends...stop planning stuff in the fall (esp fri’s & sat’s) during FB season. We’ll never be able to come to those events. Sincerely, all AT’s that are tired of missing their friends/families events. 😒 @at_probs#atlife
We want to recognize ALL women during this Women’s History Month! Trans women are women. We celebrate ALL women and their wonderful contributions to sport, healthcare, and society!
Athletic trainers: healthcare professionals. Services: primary care, injury & illness prevention, wellness promotion & education, emergent care, examination & clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention & rehabilitation. #notjustatrainer
-Dr. Devon Serrano, DAT, LAT, ATC, NREMT
Hello @Kevinharlan, this is Dr. Alejandra Merriman, DAT,ATC,CES. I have been a certified athletic trainer for 10 years. You &Dan Bonner should leave all demeaning comments about medical professionals to yourself& stick to announcing the game. @TBSNetwork
Sincerely,
Dr. Merriman
Hi @kevinharlan, I can assure you that athletic trainers are experts in simple first aid as this is something we do daily. Instead of insulting an entire allied healthcare profession, stick to commentating sports, we’ll stick to our many roles as medical pros. Thank you
@TBSNetwork Plz tell KevinHarlan & DanBonner to reactivate their social media accts. There are some people who have “Dr” in front of their names who’d like to educate them on the expertise of athletic trainers. Sincerely, Dr. Holland #RespectTheCredentials
Friendly PSA during #NATM2021!
As you share your awesome patient care action shots on social media, be mindful if they are minors and if guardian consented to post. Also, ensure the picture does not have any of the 18 PHI identifiers such as a tattoo or full face! #AT4AT#HIPAA
“Why are the athletic trainers receiving the vaccine before (insert group)?”
That’s a fair question that affords us the opportunity to educate the public.
Things I can’t do from 6 feet away:
Stabilize a C-spine
Splint a dislocated ankle
Assess vitals

This year, the Junior League of Lynchburg is raising funds & awareness to help #changethecycle of period poverty in the Greater Lynchburg area. $10 makes two period kits. If you're able, please consider donating! https://t.co/bnwdDfGqxR
This sentiment is poignant.
Today, athletic trainers are warning against actions that impact the safety of their patients AT THE PERIL OF THEIR OWN JOBS!
Don’t you think it might be worth listening to people who chose their patients over themselves, every damn time?!?
