Athletic Training Student Forum & Student Presentations

 

Welcome to the NWATA Athletic Training Student Forum Webpage!

Plans for the student forum 2010 are well under way! This year the Student Forum will be held at the Red Lion Inn in Spokane WA during the annual Northwest Athletic Trainers Association Business Meeting and Symposium. There will be plenty of opportunities to participate this year, as there will be a poster presentation section in addition to the oral presentations. This year the deadline to submit a proposal will be January 31st 2010. Proposals should include topic idea and a brief outline of the topic. Questions or submissions should be sent to Tristan Squires at tsquires05@georgefox.edu . Students chosen to present will be notified by mid February and will be updated on this site as well. Please check back then to see what great presentations we have in store!

I hope everyone is having a great school year! See you in March!

Note from Susan Verscheure, CUATS Mentor:

One of the highlights of the NWATA clinical symposium is the Athletic Training Student Forum. Students from Athletic Training Education Programs in District 10 are given time each year during the annual meeting to present research and provide instruction or methods learned to their peers.

In higher education, one of the most respected accomplishments is scholarship, or presenting information to your peers.A good presentation shows that you can research a topic, organize the information, and clearly articulate the subject matter to others in a timely manner.The Athletic Training Student Forum is a terrific opportunity for you to gain valuable experience speaking in front of your peers, and it is a great addition to your resume.You will have fun, learn a lot, and grow as a professional. Please consider presenting at this years district meeting.If you have any questions please talk to your program director or email me directly at susankv@uoregon.edu (College and University Athletic Training Students’ Committee chair).
