Administrative Topics in Athletic Training is a dynamic text that addresses important administrative issues and procedures as well as fundamental concepts, strategies, and techniques related to the management of all aspects of an athletic training health care delivery system. Unlike traditional organisation and administration textbooks, this book delivers a multitude of content focused on classical management theory. The authors have presented a balance of theory and application, including case studies and scenarios in each chapter to help students realize immediate application of the content.
