I have arranged to have an interview with athletic trainer, Matt Lang. He graduated from the athletic training program at Michigan State University and is now close to finishing his graduate program at Central Michigan University where he is a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer for the men's baseball and football teams. Our interview is for either this Tuesday or Wednesday. For our interview I have compiled a list of questions to ask Matt that will hopefully give you a better understanding about what athletic trainers write and how they write. Overall, I am trying to find out they ways in which they use communication.
- How much writing would you say you do in an average day's work as an athletic trainer?
- What does this writing consist of?
- Personal player information?
- Injury documentation?
- Management of equipment?
- Safety rules, regulations, and procedures?
- How is your writing put together?
- Is it short and concise?
- Easy to understand?
- Are there complicated/hard to understand words/abbreviations used?
- Is writing/communication a vital part to being an athletic trainer?
- Do you have a personal anecdote or story you could share that would demonstrate the
importance of writing done as an athletic trainer?
As of now I can only speculate what Matt Lang writes and how he writes it. Within the next few days I will have the answers to these questions and can hopefully give you an accurate depiction of the process of writing as an athletic trainer.
