Summary: <br> Is Leadership Curriculum a good way to learn to lead? Can it be added to our current AT course requirements?<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Leadership-in-AT-1.png"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> How do we develop leadership in AT?<br> <br> <br> <br> Curriculum is the hardest way to learn leadership - there is an absence of the practice of AT<br> <br> <br> <br> “We tend to protect them from the leadership process in their clinical experiences”<br> <br> <br> <br> The only way it can work is if we integrate them together into the clinical experience.<br> <br> <br> <br> Trial and error - best most effective and efficient way<br> <br> <br> <br> Observation<br> <br> <br> <br> JBY: It is more outcome-based. It is easy to track clinical outcomes.<br> <br> <br> <br> There are so many types of leadership.<br> <br> <br> <br> Situational leadership or contextual leadership is critical.<br> <br> <br> <br> In the current BOC practice areas, only about 2 of 8 deal with sports<br> <br> <br> <br> How do we develop good leaders?<br> <br> <br> <br> What makes a good leader?<br> <br> <br> <br> Are we putting people in the right places to lead?<br> <br> <br> <br> Energy bus<br> <br> <br> <br> The military does this really well<br> <br> <br> <br> They capitalize on the problem-solving process.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you look at the CAATE and look at the math, .05% of ATs are in leadership as program directors.<br> <br> <br> <br> MK: we need to be better at recognizing the reality there is a small percentage of us in leadership roles.<br> <br> <br> <br> * We need to train the program directors* Increase the exposure of our students<br> <br> <br> <br> If we think adding clinical skills to our profession is going to change our profession we are sorely mistaken.<br> <br> <br> <br> People want to know how we can help improve and all we have to offer is a new way to tape an ankle…<br> <br> <br> <br> The BOC states we have to have skills in leadership...not knowledge of…<br> <br> <br> <br> We have to be able to change hats.<br> <br> <br> <br> We are 20 years behind compared to other healthcare professions as far as leadership.<br> <br> <br> <br> Nursing is by far the leader in my opinion in the leadership curriculum.<br> <br> <br> <br> We are making a big mistake as a profession by not putting more eggs in this basket.<br> <br> <br> <br> Can we teach it at the MAT level? How do we measure such an objective subject? <br> <br> <br> <br> MK: We get scared when we go to the literature.<br> <br> <br> <br> Leadership is not like a clinical skill<br> <br> <br> <br> It is not a checkbox item.<br> <br> <br> <br> Instead of a concrete objective, there should be a certain number of leadership exposures per semester.<br> <br> <br> <br> Develop a leadership philosophy.<br> <br> <br> <br> JBY: New 2020 standards have shifted towards outcomes. How are you documenting them?<br> <br> <br> <br> Checking the boxes is a managerial task, not a leadership task.<br> <br> <br> <br> Self Assessment - SWAT analysis - how did I move this pile of beans to the other pile.<br> <br> <br> <br> Operationalizing Leadership is hit or miss.<br> <br> <br> <br> The MAT is designed for an AT student to ENTER the profession.<br> <br> <br> <br> Some of the ways we have it is an AT Student Society<br> <br> <br> <br> We have liaison positions in our program.<br> <br> <br> <br> Being on a committee at various levels.<br> <br> <br> <br> When everything is outcome-based how do we say “Leadership was performed”<br> <br> <br> <br> MK: I hand out sticky notes and ask and ask them to put ...
