The globalization of the world of medicine and its international constituents has provided numerous opportunities for health care professionals to get involved, and athletic trainers are part of that involvement. In fact, there are a number of international organizations where athletic trainers are at the forefront of leadership and advocacy from all angles including scholarship, clinical, and educational influences.

The NATA Ethnic Diversity Advisory Committee (EDAC) offers Diversity Enhancement Grants of up to $5,000 to educational institutions to support the advancement of diversity within the athletic training profession. Grant applications are currently being accepted for the 2021 grant cycle and are due Oct. 1.
