Abstract
Background:
Secondary school athletic training rooms are often challenged by limited staffing and high athlete volumes, leading to extended wait times and decreased access to timely care. A significant portion of visits involves non-urgent injury prevention and maintenance exercises, which may be effectively managed through self-guided interventions. This quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed to implement a self-directed rehabilitation program to reduce in-clinic congestion and improve provider efficiency.
