The Start of the Athletic School Year: EMS and Athletic Training

On this week’s episode of the EMS Handoff, Bradley and David are joined by Jim Bazluki and Jeff Hinshaw where they take on the topic of the new school year and the rise in sports-related injuries. An extension of the “Jeff and Jim Show,” as they call it, our guests discuss the capabilities of athletic trainers at the local high school, university, and professional settings – as well as relationships with the EMS side during these events. As school years start up across the country, we will dive into what the athletic trainer knows, and how to integrate and collaborate for the highest level of care to our student athletes.
