Attend the Next Timely Topics Event
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.
Small City Impacted by Public Safety AT Care
Hiring athletic trainers to care for local public safety departments is gaining momentum in cities across the U.S. Because of the support and funding necessary to incorporate athletic training services into government budgets, finding their place in smaller communities to provide care might be intimidating to ATs.
New Temp. Flow Chart Available
As health care professionals, athletic trainers should be part of the conversation when preparing for employees to return to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Public Safety Committee, housed within the Council on Practice Advancement (COPA), recently released the Temperature Flow Chart resource for ATs to share with their organization’s planning teams or administration when preparing to return to work.
