NATA 2023 On-Demand is available to both in-person attendees and on-demand registrants Aug. 1-Oct. 31.

For on-demand-only registrants, NATA 2023 On-Demand offers up to 20 CEUs. Registrants must view sessions in their entirety and complete the session assessments at the end to earn CEUs.

Back-to-school season is right around the corner! As students approach their studies and sports return, athletic trainers also need to get equipped to serve their athletes’ health care needs.

The 74th NATA Clinical Symposia & AT Expo educational programming provides attendees with access to cutting-edge research and the latest in athletic training education. Attendees can earn up to 20 CEUs, a major benefit as 2023 is a reporting year.

To commemorate Pride Month, throughout June the NATA Now blog is highlighting members of the NATA LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee and their impact on the profession.
 

The next NATA Timely Topics event, “The AT and Public Safety”, at 1 p.m. CDT May 8, is planned to introduce athletic trainers to the public safety setting.

The April NATA News features the article, “Talking Social Determinants of Health,” which outlines what ATs need to know in order to become more comfortable discussing them with their patients and athletes.

We’ve all been there before: A patient comes into our athletic training facility, we exchange greetings, discuss the reason for the visit, provide care, say our goodbyes and then they go about their day.

Throughout the history of athletic training, the college/university, higher education, professional sports, secondary school and various emerging settings have become home to athletic trainers wanting to care for all active populations. The impact of these ATs has helped their patients remain active and healthy in work, life and sport.
