Increased use of athletic trainers in sports medicine clinics has created a need for information related to actual and ideal use of these professionals in these settings. The purposes of this study were to 1) describe the characteristics of sports medicine clinics and their personnel, 2) determine whether there were differences between opinions of certified athletic trainers (ATCs), physical therapists (PTs), and professionals with dual credentials (PT/ATCs) about the ideal role of the ATC in sports medicine clinics, and 3) determine whether there were differences in actual usage of ATCs between states with and without athletic training laws. Subjects included 46 PTs, 43 PT/ATCs, and 73 ATCs from six different states. A questionnaire ascertained opinions about ideal ATC utilization and about current practice of ATCs with respect to 28 different clinical procedures. For 27 of the 28 procedures, there were significant differences of opinion about ideal ATC utilization between individuals with the three credentials. No significant differences in actual athletic trainer use in sports medicine clinics were found between states with and without athletic training laws.
运动医学诊所中运动训练师使用的增加，使得人们需要了解这些专业人员在这些环境中的实际和理想用途。本研究的目的是：1）描述运动医学诊所及其人员的特征；2）确定认证运动训练师（ATC）、物理治疗师（PT）和具有双重资质的专业人员（PT/ATC）对运动训练师在运动医学诊所中的理想角色的看法是否存在差异；3）确定有无运动训练法的州之间运动训练师的实际使用情况是否存在差异。研究对象包括来自六个不同州的46名物理治疗师、43名物理治疗师/运动训练师和73名运动训练师。一份问卷确定了关于运动训练师理想使用情况以及运动训练师在28种不同临床程序方面当前实践的看法。在28种程序中的27种程序上，具有这三种资质的个体对运动训练师理想使用情况的看法存在显著差异。有无运动训练法的州之间，运动医学诊所中运动训练师的实际使用情况未发现显著差异。
