Professional Growth

As health care changes and expands to meet the needs of patients and uphold new standards, athletic trainers must also continuously grow and learn. Professional growth resources include: ​

Without the NATA, clinical practice updates such as the Position Statements, Consensus Statements, Official Statements and Support Statements would not exist. Additionally, the NATA publishes salary surveys for members to provide data they need in negotiating with current and prospective employers. 

Support

Support resources equip athletic trainers with the tools you need to thrive in the athletic training profession:

The ATs Care program is designed to offer crisis management training opportunities for athletic trainers dealing with the aftermath of a critical incident. The mission of the ATs Care Commission is to aid ATs and AT students who have been through a critical incident by utilizing a peer-to-peer system to assist, monitor and encourage these individuals to seek initial support through state or regional ATs Care teams.

Advocacy

On Capitol Hill, media platforms and stakeholder meetings, the NATA advocates for resources and initiatives needed to grow the public's understanding of the athletic training profession. 

From humble beginnings to huge impact, the Governmental Affairs office has been instrumental in advancing and protecting the profession of athletic training on a national and state level. The GAC office has supported Capitol Hill Days, licensure requirements, CMS recognition, establishment of CPT codes, legislative bootcamp courses for state leaders among others.
