Emphasizing Education
Supporting education and professional development at every level


One of NATA's primary objectives is to provide top-notch educational opportunities for members. We strive to offer innovative and effective learning opportunities to help you grow as a professional.

 

Be a Lifelong Learner

NATA encourages all members to be lifelong learners through continuing education and professional development.  Athletic trainers must continue to obtain current professional development information, explore new knowledge in specific content areas, master new athletic training-related skills and techniques, expand approaches to effective athletic training, develop professional judgment and conduct professional practice in an ethical and appropriate manner.

Acquire new knowledge and skills through our wealth of educational opportunities such as online webinars and courses, seminars, workshops, advanced educational programs and certificates.
