Duties:

Perform under the clinical supervision of a physician supervisor assigned to the HCW by the Commanding Officer. The physician supervisor is responsible for the care rendered by the ATC. The following levels of supervision apply:

Direct clinical supervision. The physician supervisor is involved in the decision-making process. This level of clinical supervision is for all ATCs during their initial 30-day evaluation period. Direct clinical supervision includes (1) Verbal, whereby the ATC shall contact the physician supervisor by direct conversation or telephone before the ATC implements or changes a regimen of care; and (2) Physically present, whereby the physician supervisor is present through all or a significant portion of care. Pn the Branch Medical Clinic (BMC)/Sports Medicine and Reconditioning Therapy (SMART) center, direct clinical supervision is reflected by the physician’s co-signature of the patient’s record before he/she departs from the facility.

 

Indirect clinical supervision. The physician supervisor is not required to be involved in the decision-making process when decisions are made. This clinical supervision is primarily accomplished through a retrospective review of records, evaluation of the appropriateness of consultation and referral, and evaluation of events identified through occurrence screens. Retrospective record reviews will assess the adequacy of the history and physical examination, appropriateness of tests, and planned course of treatments and interventions. This type of clinical supervision will be afforded to the ATC after completing a 30-day evaluation period and demonstrating knowledge and competency of required functional areas.

Actively consult with physicians at the treatment facility and provide a full range of direct prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation as ordered by the Physician Supervisor or other consultant physicians.

Provide appropriate follow-up evaluation.

Technically direct students from various programs and provide instruction in injury assessments and rehabilitation utilization of all indicated modalities, equipment, braces, and treatment protocols.

Provide instruction and services in applied anatomy, physiology of exercise, kinesiology, and biomechanics.

Provide training and guidance, as necessary, to supporting employees assigned to the HCW by the physician supervisor during the performance of rehabilitative procedures. Such clinical direction and interaction shall adhere to government and professional clinical standards and accepted athletic trainer treatment protocols.

Ensure the accuracy of all treatment documentation and direct reporting, as assessments may be a factor in light duty or limited duty determinations where there is a question of physical ability or potential for injury.

Assist with inventory and maintenance of medical supplies. This includes replenishing exhausted supplies, preventive maintenance, and recommending new rehabilitation equipment purchases.

In cooperation with the physician supervisor, utilize the following public health model of managing injury risk to assist the Commanding Officer in ongoing efforts to design effective physical readiness programs:

Determine the existence and size of injury problems.

Identify the causes of the problem.

Determine problem prevention.

Implement prevention strategies, training, and programs.
