In honor of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month in May, NATA Now, in collaboration with the NATA Ethnic Diversity Advisory Committee, is highlighting some of our Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders making an impact at the state, district and national level.
Starting your career as a newly certified athletic trainer is exciting, but it can also bring real anxiety. You’re stepping into high-stakes environments, learning to function as a health care professional with autonomy for the first time. Your compensation, work-life balance or uncertainty about your setting don’t need to add to those concerns.
Every day, NATA is working on behalf of the athletic training profession. With staff members experienced in all aspects of the legislative and regulatory process, the NATA Government Affairs Department is the sole department focused on advocacy for the profession. NATA’s goal is to ensure that all ATs can work to the fullest extent of their education and skill set.
