June 22-25th, thousands of athletic trainers from all over the country gathered in Baltimore, MD for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) 67th Clinical Symposia and AT Expo. Not only were students, alumni, and faculty from Missouri State University’s AT program there, but many also presented! To become a presenter at NATA, these researchers submitted their studies and/or presentations to a review board where it underwent a process of assessing the content and strength of the submission. We are proud to have had the following SMAT-affiliated individuals present at this national conference! Well done!
Faculty:
Dr. David Carr: Identifying and Engaging Educational and Professional Stakeholders
Dr. Michael Hudson: Using Dual Reasoning to Advance Clinical Decision Making
Dr. Michael Hudson: (Second presentation!): Experiences and Perspectives of Athletic Training Interns and Their Employers
