This poster outlines the beneficial role ATs play in the private practice workplace.

The NATA Private Practice and Entrepreneurship Value Model is a product of the NATA Council on Practice Advancement Private Practice and Emerging Settings Committee. This document is intended for athletic trainers (ATs) and other stakeholders. The information contained in this document may be used as a guide for ATs interested in business ownership and provides best practice recommendations for the private practice setting.

This value model was created to provide a resource for ATs in entrepreneurship to broaden the knowledge base of worth and value in their setting, to assist in presenting their value and worth to stakeholders, expand general business knowledge and understand the value provided to the target market. It is projected that this information will help ATs create and sustain a successful business.
