In New York State Athletic Trainers must practice under the supervision of a physician. If an athletic trainer works an event without standing orders in place, they are not working within their scope of practice and can face legal action. Often times athletic trainers are requested to cover events and it's imperative that they have standing orders in place.

​

With Active Athletic Training, athletic trainers do not have to worry about this. Through our partnership with Northwell Health, each athletic trainer hired by Active Athletic Training will have physician standing orders in place.

​

There are other companies that simply ask you to check a box stating you have standing orders in place before you work an event. Don't put yourself at risk and work an event unless you have a physician signed off in writing that is overseeing you!
