The Collegiate Sports Medicine Foundation - Center for College and University Sports Medicine Appropriate Medical Coverage is dedicated to addressing issues affecting the day to day athletic trainer, team physician and sports medicine professional. This center will provide statistical information related to number of staff (by division), salaries, budgets, and services accessible for student athlete well fare. This center will also address such policies and procedures not otherwise determined in the other centers within the Collegiate Sports Medicine Foundation.
It is of importance that appropriate medical coverage is the underlying theme of all the centers as they each strive to provide resources for the clinician and university administration to make decisions to elevate the standard of care available to their student-athletes.
It is of importance to note that the data contained within this center is informal survey data submitted by head athletic trainers. The information is for the intended use of other athletic trainers and sports medicine staffs to compare their situation to others of similarity.
The NATA, its Board of Directors and the AMCIA Task Force should be commended on a well developed tool that enables collegiate athletic trainers with another instrument to justify additional staff and services to the student-athlete. It is well supported that this instrument is to be used in association with other materials and circumstances to support the need for additional staff.
