ATrack
This powerful database is the answer to scattered paperwork, missing
test records and the fear of credential audits. In one secure and
easy-to-use place, you can add, edit and review clinical proficiency
records for any student, from any browser. Students can use it, too
-- to track their hours, access their proficiency results, read notes
on their performance and chart their own progress through the program.


Athletic Training Textbook
Have you asked your bookstore to order copies of NATA's new textbook
yet? If you haven't ... what are you waiting for? NATA Reference
Series: Position, Consensus, Official and Support Statements compiles
some of the profession's most critical documents in one convenient,
easy-to-access location. This is an invaluable resource that will be
useful to your students now and as they advance in their careers.


Call for Involvement
On Sept. 1, NATA will issue its first-ever Call for Involvement. This
is a great way to get connected to your association. Via the Call for
Involvement, we'll invite all members to sign up for one of our 16 new
Think Tanks (covering topics such as meeting planning, communications
and specific work settings -- including one for educators!) Think
Tanks provide a forum for discussion, build connections for
collaboration and deliberation with your peers, and open the door to
leadership opportunities and development within the association. When
the call is issued in September -- be sure to answer it!
