The AATA aims to provide quality support to their members!
All athletic trainers in Alaska who join the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) are automatically members of the Alaska Athletic Trainers’ Association (AATA).
Continuing education units
Continuing education units (CEUs) are required to maintain certification as an athletic trainer. The BOC requires 50 every 2 years, 10 of which must be evidence based practice (EBP). There are several opportunities for continuing education within Alaska throughout the year, take a look!
Finding/posting jobs
The NATA career center is an excellent source for current job listings across the nation in all settings. You may search for a job, or if you are looking to hire you can post here as well! If you would like to post a job to the AATA website for an in-state hire, please contact us at alaskaata@gmail.com!
