FEATURED STORY

Join the Oct. 13 Call-In Night

The NATA Ethnic Diversity Advisory Committee and ATs Care Commission are continuing to host call-in nights with the next one being held at 6 p.m. CDT Oct. 13. The NATA ATs Care & EDAC Call-In Nights: Addressing Uncertainty in 2020 will be held monthly for the remainder of 2020. These call-in nights will provide ATs the opportunity to express their emotional reactions to racial injustice, COVID-19 and the overall uncertainty many are experiencing in a group setting, under the guidance of ATs Care team members trained in ICISF’s Group Intervention. NATA is here to support its members while you continue to support your family, friends, colleagues, student athletes and patients.

The leadership cabinet of the NATA EducATionalist Community put together a 150-source database related to athletic training and health professions education. Inspired by the quarantine imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic and requisite move to remote learning for most athletic training education programs, the cabinet wanted to provide various quick-access, and mostly free, resources to assist educators with remote learning and teaching.
