A Call for Evidence-Based Athletic Training Education

"Evidence-based practice" has become a buzzword in medical and health professions. As our colleagues build a body of best evidence in medical education, so must athletic training educators recognize, and act upon, the obligation to incorporate these concepts into both our teaching and our research. It is time to conduct research studies and implement education guidelines that reflect this trend. To foster this type of scholarly work, the Research and Education Foundation can proactively encourage and solicit grant proposals regarding athletic training evidence-based education.
