Vision QuestWho, What, When and Where Athletic Training

wants to be in 5, 10, 15 years

Being Proactive, Not Reactive!

Grounded in reality with achievable goals


Vision for the Athletic Training Profession

Athletic trainers are integral members of the healthcare, wellness and sport

communities, fully utilizing their knowledge, skills and abilities in the delivery of athletic training services that benefit the health and

wellness status of our nation.


Development of Four (4) Strategic Goals


1. Scope of practice and appropriate terminology2. Degree requirements and quality ofathletic training education programs3. Practice position, employment andreimbursement4. Research agenda for the future


Strategic Goal #1: Scope of practice and appropriate

terminology

•Ensure ATs can practice to the fullest extent of their scope of practice.

•Harmonize state practice acts using common language.


Strategic Goal #2: Degree requirements and quality of athletic training education programs

•The identification of the degree associated with professional preparation is within the domain of the individual institutions housing the educational programs.

•Some baccalaureate programs may choose to transition to an entry level master’s program.

• Regardless of the degree offered, professional preparation must involve an educational program that is responsive to changes in both curriculum content and

professional practice.• The baccalaureate degree meets these needs at present.


Strategic Goal #3: Practice position, employment and reimbursement

Four AT practice models will exist concurrently:

• School based/team based model• Third-party payer model• Employer-based model

• Cash model

2011 MAATA Annual Business MeetingStrategic Goal #4: Clinically relevant research

• Establish the infrastructure to support research. Establish regional research partnerships.

• Assess and pursue grant opportunities and other relevant activities.

Questions or Discussion?


Motion to Accept or Reject the Proposed

Changes to the NATA By-Laws as outlined.


Board of Certification(BOC)Recertification Fee;

An overview


What is the re-certification FEE?

The BOC charges an annual fee to credential holders to cover the cost of maintaining services at the BOC.

Historically this fee has been collected by the NATA as part of a member’s annual dues. The NATA in turn pays the BOC on

behalf of the membership.

This fee currently stands at $14.50/year for NATA members.


What is changing?

As part of an external review the BOC was advised that its’ current procedure of having the NATA collect its re-credentialing fee was

not in keeping with industry “best practices”.

Further it was recommended that each credential holder pay individually as opposed to the group payment method currently

utilized by the NATA.


What is going to change?

Starting in December with the normal renewal cycle members will see more of an ala carte selection process when they renew their membership in the NATA.

Members must choose that they wish to have the NATA collect, on the members behalf, the BOC certification fee to receive the discounted price for re-

certification.

Those NATA members that select to pay the BOC re-credentialing fee during their NATA dues renewal will be charge $34 dollars instead of the $50 charge for non

NATA members.


How will this effect you?

District III members currently pay $193/year. This is broken down as $150/year for NATA dues and

$43 for district and state dues.

This will change for the 2012 dues renewal process!


A typical invoice for a district III member will look like this:

NATA membership $150BOC re-certification Fee $ 34District & state dues $ 43

total $227

The NATA will retain the $14.50 it previously collected.


Rationale:

The last time the NATA increased fees was in 2005 for the 2006 year

Despite cost saving efforts 2006 dollars don’t go far in 2011

This increased revenue will be used to fund strategic initiatives (Vision Quest)
