The Ethnic Diversity Advisory Committee is dedicated to service, devoted to advocacy and committed to unity. We want to identify and address issues relevant to American Indian/Alaskan Natives, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Blacks (non-Hispanic), and Hispanics both in the health care arena and in the National Athletic Trainers' Association. We advocate sensitivity and understanding towards ethnic and cultural diversity throughout the profession and the association. We strive to enhance the growth and development of the NATA, and our objectives are designed to unify the association. So, join us in our efforts to promote service, advocacy and unity.

Moderator Database

The Ethnic Diversity Advisory Committee has begun a program to have more ethnic diverse athletic trainers as moderators during the NATA’s Annual Convention and Clinical Symposium every June.  Your name has been submitted to the convention committee as a possible candidate to serve as a moderator for a general session or free communications session.

The convention committee has welcomed this new program, and is willing to place you into their bank of moderators based on your preferred areas of interest and/or expertise.  If you are still willing to be a moderator during the NATA’s annual convention please reply to this message with the area or areas that you feel well suited to moderate a session on.  When your name is submitted to the moderator bank, it does not automatically confirm that you will be selected, but places you in the pool of people the NATA may select from. 

In order to create a more diverse NATA, athletic trainers of all ethnicities most become involved in leadership positions, speakers at conventions/meetings and visible for all athletic trainers to see. 

If you are interested in joining this pool please contact Corey Oshikoya.
