Message from the Executive Committee
The Alaska Athletic Trainers’ Association (AATA) is an organization committed to the education of its members and increasing awareness of the profession of athletic training throughout the state of Alaska. The AATA is proudly composed of licensed athletic trainers in many different settings from collegiate, high school, and competitive teams to the military, industrial settings, physician offices, and rehabilitation clinics all working together to promote and practice the profession of athletic training. Our hope is the AATA website will serve as a tool for athletic trainers, administrators, coaches, parents, and athletes to spread awareness of athletic training as a healthcare profession and become informed in current health and safety topics to reduce risk within the populations they serve. Alaska poses unique geographical and environmental challenges that we must overcome to increase access to athletic trainers. We are committed to overcoming these obstacles and offering ways for even the most rural populations across our great state to gain the support of an athletic trainer. We are a part of the District 10 Northwest Athletic Trainers’ Association and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. Please feel free to contact our executive team at any time with comments, questions, concerns, or ideas by emailing us at alaskaata@gmail.com.
