NATA Now

The NATA Clinical Symposia & AT Expo is the premier educational event for athletic trainers and other sports medicine professionals. The current climate presents the event industry, as a whole, with unprecedented challenges and considerations, the most important of which for NATA is the overall safety and well-being of our members.
