National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA)
More than 100 members of the NATA from 30 states descended on Congress on Wednesday, March 7, 2018, for the organization’s annual Capitol Hill Day in an effort to educate members of Congress about the athletic training profession and request support from their senators for S.808, the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act. The legislation, which would protect athletic trainers and other sports medicine professionals who travel out of state with an athletic team to provide care, ultimately ensures that the medical care of athletes is not jeopardized. If the bill passes in the Senate, it will go to the President’s desk for final signature to make it a law. The legislation, passed in the US House of Representatives as H.R. 302 on January 9, 2017, clarifies medical liability rules for athletic trainers and other medical professionals to ensure they are properly covered by their malpractice insurance while traveling with athletic teams in another state. Under the bill, health care services provided by a covered athletic trainer or other sports medicine professional to an athlete, athletic team, or a staff member in another state will be deemed to have satisfied any licensure requirements of the secondary state. For additional information on the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act, including a link to encourage US senators to co-sponsor the bill, visit http://www.nata.org/sports-medicine-licensure-clarity-act.
