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.

Athletic training is among the fastest growing professions in health care. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 17%* job growth over the next 10 years, much faster than average growth projections.

Veteran ATs are invited to attend the NATA Connection and Engagement Committee Meet and Greet at 11 a.m. CST March 29. This free event is an opportunity to learn about the committee as well as NATA’s various member resources. This is also a great opportunity to get your NATA-related questions answered and meet fellow ATs from around the country.

NATA Timely Topics kicks off anew this year with “The State of Athletic Training: College/University Employment” at 1 p.m. CST March 2.

Registration is now open for the 74th NATA Clinical Symposia & AT Expo, taking place June 21-24 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

As the NATA Career Center statistics reveal in the December NATA News, this member-only benefit celebrates a stellar year as a valuable online venue for NATA members to find jobs, having operated for over 10 years.

“If you’re looking for another resource for athletic training news and updates, this show is for you,” said NATA Internal Marketing Coordinator Tracy White, producer of “The NATA-Cast,” in the opening line of the new podcast’s preview.

In October, NATA premiered “The NATA-Cast,” its official podcast, which provides in-depth conversations about health care topics that interest athletic trainers.

As part of Phase Six of NATA’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access (DEIA) Response Plan, each NATA committee, commission and council was tasked with developing three to five actionable items that support one or more of the six NATA DEIA Commitments.
