Gender inequity is a societal issue and pervasive throughout health care. Female ATs represent 56% of NATA membership, are represented in all practice settings, but glaring gaps exist in the workplace. Inequities in salary, leadership positions and promotion are well documented. The NATA Compensation Task Force's Gender Equity subgroup developed this tool kit to assist every athletic trainer in staying informed about equity, inequity identification, documentation and collaboration on how to address to become empowered and create change.

This resource is a 2-page worksheet designed to guide individuals through short-, intermediate-, and long-term financial planning during career transitions.

This course explores conflict management and includes Interviews with three well-known leaders of the NATA who have significant experience in dealing with conflict and controversial issues. Conflict is defined as: any situation where your concerns or desires differ from another person (Harrelson, et. al 2009). Conflict that is avoided by leadership may result in a multitude of negative consequences. Thus, the purpose of this course is to explain the positive benefits of using effective conflict management strategies, to identify types of conflict that leaders may be confronted with and to discuss strategies to manage conflict. In addition, the listener should be able to recognize and evaluate their own personal listening skills to better manage conflict and to identify positive characteristics of professionalism among leaders to promote employee and volunteer well-being. 

A step-by-step guide to finding and applying for jobs in athletic training. Covers preparing resumes/CVs, tailoring applications, navigating online applications, interview preparation and post-interview follow-up to help job seekers succeed at every stage.
