Development of Four
(4) Strategic Goals
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
1. Scope of practice and appropriate
terminology
2. Degree requirements and quality of
athletic training education programs
3. Practice position, employment and
reimbursement
4. Research agenda for the future
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
Strategic Goal #1: Scope of practice and appropriate
terminology
•Ensure ATs can practice to the fullest extent of their
scope of practice.
•Harmonize state practice acts using common language.
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
Strategic Goal #2: Degree requirements and
quality of athletic training education programs
•The identification of the degree associated with professional preparation is
within the domain of the individual institutions housing the educational programs.
•Some baccalaureate programs may choose to transition to an entry level master’s
program.
•Regardless of the degree offered, professional preparation must involve an
educational program that is responsive to changes in both curriculum content and
professional practice.
•The baccalaureate degree meets these needs at present.
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
Strategic Goal #3: Practice position, employment
and reimbursement
Four AT practice models will exist concurrently:
•School based/team based model
•Third-party payer model
•Employer-based model
•Cash model
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
Strategic Goal #4: Clinically relevant research
as an integral part of practice and practice
model development
•Focus on comparative effectiveness research and evidencebased practice.
•Establish the infrastructure to support research. Establish
regional research partnerships.
•Assess and pursue grant opportunities and other relevant
activities.

Board of Certification(BOC)
Recertification Fee;
An overview
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
What is the re-certification FEE?
The BOC charges an annual fee to credential holders to cover the
cost of maintaining services at the BOC.
Historically this fee has been collected by the NATA as part of a
member’s annual dues. The NATA in turn pays the BOC on
behalf of the membership.
This fee currently stands at $14.50/year for NATA members.
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
What is changing?
As part of an external review the BOC was advised that its’ current
procedure of having the NATA collect its re-credentialing fee was
not in keeping with industry “best practices”.
Further it was recommended that each credential holder pay
individually as opposed to the group payment method currently
utilized by the NATA.
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
What is going to change?
Starting in December with the normal renewal cycle members will see more of an
ala carte selection process when they renew their membership in the NATA.
Members must choose that they wish to have the NATA collect, on the members
behalf, the BOC certification fee to receive the discounted price for recertification.
Those NATA members that select to pay the BOC re-credentialing fee during their
NATA dues renewal will be charge $34 dollars instead of the $50 charge for non
NATA members.
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
How will this effect you?
District III members currently pay $193/year. This
is broken down as $150/year for NATA dues and
$43 for district and state dues.
This will change for the 2012 dues renewal
process!
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
A typical invoice for a district III member will look like this:
NATA membership
BOC re-certification Fee
District & state dues
total
$150
$ 34
$ 43
$227
The NATA will retain the $14.50 it previously collected.
2011 MAATA Annual Business Meeting
Rationale:
The last time the NATA increased fees was in 2005 for
the 2006 year
Despite cost saving efforts 2006 dollars don’t go far in
2011
This increased revenue will be used to fund strategic
initiatives (Vision Quest)
