Award Overview

As highly educated and dedicated health care professionals we knowingly and unknowingly impact the lives of athletic training students, athletes, co-workers, patients and the general public. The Public Relations Committee would like to present this honor on behalf of FWATA to recognize and applaud these noble efforts during the year through its Excellence in Athletic Training Award (EinAT). It is a unique and prestigious accolade only for qualified FWATA members. The FWATA Excellence in Athletic Training Award is open to any FWATA member who displays an exceptional commitment to mentoring, professional development or enhancing the quality of health care. The award recipient must embody the ideas, goals and mission of the NATA and FWATA, and demonstrate the highest level of service, professionalism and competence.
