What is a per diem athletic trainer?

A Per Diem Athletic Trainer is a certified healthcare professional who provides athletic training services on an as-needed or temporary basis, rather than as a full-time staff member. They are typically hired to cover events, practices, games, or fill in for regular staff who are unavailable. Per diem positions offer flexibility for both the employer and the trainer, allowing coverage during busy periods or special events. These trainers assess, treat, and rehabilitate athletic injuries, and may also provide injury prevention education.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a per diem athletic trainer?

To thrive as a Per Diem Athletic Trainer, you need a solid background in injury prevention, evaluation, and rehabilitation, typically supported by a bachelor’s degree in athletic training and Board of Certification (BOC) credentials. Familiarity with electronic medical records, injury tracking software, and modalities like ultrasound and therapeutic exercise equipment is often required. Strong interpersonal skills, adaptability, and effective communication are crucial for working with athletes, coaches, and medical professionals in dynamic settings. These skills and qualifications ensure the delivery of high-quality care and effective injury management in varied and often fast-paced environments.

How does scheduling and workload flexibility typically work in a per diem athletic training position?

Per Diem Athletic Trainers often enjoy a high degree of scheduling flexibility, as positions are designed to fill coverage gaps or support special events. Work hours can vary greatly depending on the needs of the athletic department, local teams, or clinics, leading to irregular or on-call shifts. This flexibility can be beneficial for those seeking work-life balance or supplemental income, but it may also present challenges in terms of consistent hours and benefits. Communication and adaptability are key, as per diem trainers frequently collaborate with full-time staff and must adjust quickly to different teams and environments.
