Almost done!

I am happy to announce that we have signed a letter of intent for our first resident! Now that we have a date set and an actual person starting I am determining what I must do prior to her start date.

To begin, I was able to sit down with both clinic owners and together, the three of us were able to develop the residency schedule for the summer/fall. It really helped to draw up the hours on the white board where it was easy to make changes and to be sure the hours add up. It was like figuring out a big puzzle between looking at clinic treatment times, surgeon/physician hours and athletic training room/venue coverage hours. We have come up with a schedule that will work for the summer and fall, but will likely change when spring seasons start as the current schedule is focused around  football season and the associated hours.

It was challenging to plug in all of the sporting events and making sure the resident gets a good mix of all high school fall sports while having consistency in the school and teams she follows since our clinic is affiliated with 2 high schools. I realize this schedule will be a work in progress, but I’m looking forward to getting this program started!
