NWATA Meeting Survey
​
NWATA Members,
We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback, both to last fall’s survey about stewardship of the membership revenue and also after our recent meeting in Boise. We have provided the raw data for both surveys in the PDF's below.
​
We have also provided an AI-generated summary of the stewardship survey results and an FAQ page about some of the common themes that emerged from the meeting in Boise, with responses as to why certain decisions are made. We hope that if you desire to look through these results, you will have a better understanding of the challenges faced and the thoughtful decisions we attempt to make. Let us know if you have any questions or thoughts!
What is athletic training? Athletic training encompasses the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of emergent, acute or chronic injuries and medical conditions. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA), Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as an allied health care profession.

Who are athletic trainers? Athletic trainers (ATs) are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Athletic trainers work under the direction of a physician as prescribed by state licensure statutes.
Athletic trainers are sometimes confused with personal trainers. There is, however, a large difference in the education, skillset, job duties and patients of an athletic trainer and a personal trainer. The athletic training academic curriculum and clinical training follows the medical model. Athletic trainers must graduate from an accredited baccalaureate or master’s program, and 70% of ATs have a master’s degree. Learn more about the education of athletic trainers.
