In celebration of National Athletic Training Month (NATM), the North Carolina Athletic Trainers’ Association (NCATA) curated a public art exhibition of original photographs and illustrations showcasing patient care and AT equipment.

March is an exciting month for athletic trainers. In addition to being National Athletic Training Month, March is also Women’s History Month. This Women’s History Month, we’d like to celebrate all #ATwomen making a difference in the profession and their patients’ lives, and highlight four women in particular who have owned their impact – the four women currently serving on the NATA Board of Directors.

It's important to investigate potential programs and weigh how each does or doesn't meet your personal needs. While cost is an important factor, it’s not the only one. Class size, curriculum design, faculty involvement, campus life and program outcomes are just a few other considerations to keep in mind when making your decision.
