AT in Colorado
AT in Colorado is growing, and you can get a little bit of everything there. The Olympic Training Center brings in top-caliber athletes. Jeb Davis shares what he loves about Colorado
What is your AT Story?
Often-injured high school athlete and went to the physician’s office for back pain where I worked one-on-one with an AT in a rehab setting
Nancy Condit in Missoula, Montana.
- We had a GA show up to help with high school basketball, and I learned more about the traditional role of the AT.
- Went to New Mexico State University
- Worked in outpatient clinics in the southwest
- Went to grad school at the University of Pennsylvania
Worked with women’s and men’s basketball at the University of New Mexico
I then became the clinical coordinator at Fort Lewis College, where I worked as the clinical coordinator and program director, as well as outreach for the secondary school.
Durango is the best of both worlds: mountains and the desert
Outdoor paradise.
Jeb also worked as the Athletic Trainer for the Women’s Roller Derby team.
What is a unique aspect of Athletic Training in your state?
Orthopedic Outreach and Residencies are shaping employment for Athletic Trainers in Colorado.
What is a big challenge for Athletic Trainers in Colorado?
CO is a great AT state
A long history of AT and a little bit of everything
Secondary
University
Professional sports
Olympic Center
We have a strong residency program
I feel like our ratio of ATs in ortho clinics is greater than most states
Colorado was only recently granted licensure for ATs
Maintaining and protecting the licensure is a big part of how we spend our resources.
If you had to pick another state to live and work in which one would it be and why?
Go back to Big Sky country, where I am from.
You’re recruiting ATs to work in Colorado…what is your sales pitch?
Colorado is a destination state. Great for the AT that loves the outdoors.
We have a lot of opportunities to grow.
