The
Missouri Athletic Trainers' Association (MoATA) hosted its first-ever Education
Conference on the campus of William Woods University in Fulton, MO on Saturday
2/2/13. Over 120 faculty and students from CAATE Accredited AT Programs across
Missouri participated in the inaugural conference which consisted of lecture and
hands-on seminars for students and educators. It also featured the MoATA
Student Quiz Bowl competition with 7 programs participating.
 
The Governmental Affairs committee
organized 4 dates for MoATA
members to visit the Capitol and educate our legislators about the profession of
athletic training. Each visit went incredibly well. Ask Josh about
the program at our Annual Meeting and Symposium.
Congratulations to the two students selected as
delegates for the iLEAD conference in Dallas!
See what they had to say about attending the
conference!
