This has been my professional organization since I was an undergraduate student of Sports Medicine 10 years ago. They have evolved and changed, I think appropriately with the times and needs of their members.
Members receive both the Journal of Athletic Training and the NATA News if they wish, which will keep you up to date on new advances in athlete care and allow you to see the newer products on the market for your training room.
Lately, I have been having problems with them. Mostly clerical in nature, I have been repeatedly sent incorrect information and subsequently have had to defend myself against minor clerical/data records that should have been easily rectified. At this time, I have contacted them for further clarification on my current issue, and it has now been 5 days since that contact that they have made no effort to reach me. I am at this time considering not renewing my membership with them the next time it's up for renewal.
