Main Results:

  • Athletic trainers across all settings reported that district meetings did not adequately address their primary continuing education needs.
  • Essential education needs identified included less traditional topics such as ergonomics, budgeting, public relations, and functional capacity evaluations.
  • Variations in opinions were noted regarding specific topics and preferred presentation methods.

Conclusions:
