AT Prepare
Preparation can make all the difference when it comes to responding to a patient in need or an emergency situation. Here's a collection of resources compiled with the help of NATA's Secondary School Committee and Intercollegiate Council of Sports Medicine to aid members in these efforts.
ATs Care
The ATs Care program is designed to offer crisis management training opportunities for athletic trainers dealing with the aftermath of a critical incident.
