The 76th NATA Clinical Symposia & AT Expo, set to take place June 24-27 in Orlando, is bringing an enhanced student experience like never before.

Every day, NATA and the NATA Government Affairs Department are working on behalf of the athletic training profession. With staff members experienced in all aspects of the legislative 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.
