  2. HX of NATA • Dr. E.S. Bilke: The Trainer’s Bible, 1917 • Cramer published the First Aider in 1932 • Late 1930’s an attempt was ade to organize and form a natioanl association.

  3. HX of NATA • 1st NATA meeting was held in 1950 in Kansas City, 101 attended • Purpose of founding NATA was to establish professional standards for athletic trainers • Six years later the NATA board appointed a committee to research and recommend educational preparation for the AT, this committee later became the Professional Education Committee

  4. HX of NATA • In 1959 the board approved a curriculum. In this the high school was recognized as a potential employment setting and the potential or PT/AT • 1969 before a college/university developed an UG AT program the received NATA approval

  5. HX of NATA • This lack of response led to a plan to revise the curriculum, create a certification exam, and work to create jobs in the high school setting • A sub committee on Curriculum was developed, chaired by Sayers “Bud” Miler, Jr (U of W) – this committee was to evaluate programs seeking NATA approval for AT programs

  6. HX of NATA • In 1970, 42 schools were asked to submit their curricula, but only 4 did: • Indiana State University, Mankato State University, Lamar University, and University of New Mexico – 1st NATA approved curriculums

  7. HX of NATA • By 1973, 14 schools were NATA approved. Only Indiana State allowed women. University of Arizona had a NATA approved graduate program • Approval Process: every 5 years schools applied to renew approval and were visited by the Professional Ed Committee. The committees findings were forwarded to the NATA board for approval.

  8. HX of NATA • NATA approval continued until the NATA-JRC was formed in the mid 1990’s to took over program accreditation. • It was 1979 before a school actually had a major in AT. • 1982, the first Role Delineation Study was done to determine exactly what the AT major should entail

  9. HX of NATA • In 1986 all approved undergraduate degrees had to have a major in AT • Based on the Role Delineation Study (RDS) the 1st Competencies in Athletic Training was published

  10. Hx of Certification Exam • 1971 – 1st certification exam • Grandfather clause • NATABOC formed in 1970 and eventually wrote questions, provided examiners, conduct RDS, monitor CEU’s • NATABOC became independent in 1982, & accredited by NCHCA • Board members elected from each district

  11. Hx of Certification Exam • 1997 board reduced to 8 members selected by a nominating committee. • 1997, F/T executive director

  12. Hx of CEU • 1974, idea for NATABOC to implement CEU’s to maintain certification • 1978 actually implemented, 6 every 3 years • 1993, CEUs raised to 8 every 3 years • Currently 80 CEUs per 3 year period. 1 CEU = 1 contact hour

  13. Research and Education Foundation • Transformed from NATA Research and Injury Committee in 1991 • Committee structure = research, education & scholarship

  14. AT Education Reform • 1989, decision that AT education programs should be accredited by an outside agency, CAHEA, part of AMA • 1990 athletic training recognized by the AMA as an allied health organization • NATA-JRC was formed independently to develop standards and guidelines regarding NATA-JRC review and CAHEA accreditation

  15. AT Education Reform • CAHEA disbanded in 1994 • CAAHEP chosen as replacement accreditation agency • Became apparent to leadership that AT education needed reform. There was an uneven level of preparation of AT students

  16. AT Education Reform • Education Reform: • Better prepare ATC’s to meet demands of the future • Align themselves with other allied health professionals • Improve public perception of ATC’s • 1994, Education Task Force was formed, every aspect of education was examined

  17. AT Education Reform • 18 months to complete report, was presented to NATA board in 1996 • It was adopted by the board. • With this the internship route to certification was to be abolished by 2004. • Post graduate entry level education programs proposed. • Education Council was deemed necessary to act as a clearinghouse for AT education policy.
