As domestic travel begins to resume, and some mask mandates and physical distancing regulations ease due to the availability of vaccinations it is exciting to think about the opportunity of re-engaging in international travel. Even more exciting is the possibility of face-to-face interactions with international colleagues. Despite this last year’s obvious obstacles to international collaboration and thanks to the herculean efforts of virtual meeting technology companies, international collaboration within athletic training continued with little disruption.
