All current and future NATA journals reviewers:
Correction to Presidential Candidate Q&A
NATA News CORRECTION: An error was printed on page 19 of the March NATA News. The text within Katie Walsh Flanagan’s Presidential Candidate Q&A should have read, “We have to begin to require that athletic trainers work with a physician as a supervisor, not under a coach, AD or non-medical person.” We sincerely apologize for this error.

Everyone comes from different experiences, backgrounds and cultures, and it is the duty of athletic trainers and all health care providers to be aware of how these differences can affect patient care.
