With the new year also comes a new decade, and with that new changes to the athletic training profession. Among other updates we will be seeing, we know that CAATE has updated their education standards that will start in 2020, the transition of our bachelor level education will officially start transitioning to entry level master in 2020, and we continue to recognize ourselves as healthcare professionals.
With all that has occurred in our profession over the past several years, as these decisions were made, we owe it to ourselves to understand where these decisions came from, examine what they mean for us as individual clinicians, shift our perspectives to align with them, accept what the future of our profession looks like, and work to maintain ourselves as the practitioners we are.
That’s why ATvantage is going to take the entire year of 2020 to do exactly that: embrace change. We plan to go through each of the phases listed above to examine, shift, accept, and maintain for each of the changes that we see impacting athletic trainers. We want to take our audience on this journey so all of us are better informed and aware of how to be our best selves as we start this new decade.
Join us all year as we learn, explore, and challenge ourselves to rise to our higher selves.
