NATA Convention page is up. Looking forward to going to Indianapolis this June. I see a shoulder forum by Drs. Sciascia and Scifers. Two of the smartest clinicians I know.

Save the date for the 74th NATA Clinical Symposia & AT Expo Wednesday through Saturday, June 21-24, 2023, in Indianapolis.

I stole this check list from Jamie Woodall. I don't' know her personally but I heard her speak at NATA's last summer and found her to be VERY organized. Here is her check list for returning to work when this is all over:

Preparing for Return

Update and Communicate Athlete Injury Updates
Who is not cleared
Who is cleared that previously was out or limited
Who you need to see immediately
Athletic Training Student Aides
Communicate schedule and expectations
Restore Modalities, Equipment, and Supplies
Update Auto Out of Office reply on your email
Update website messages
Post signage as needed
Secure delivery of purchases and orders that were placed on hold
Restore weather alert parameters
Restore contracts that were placed on a hold
Reschedule appointments
Work orders
AED maintenance
Equipment calibration
Plan an AHCT meeting to discuss unexpected needs that were revealed through this process and potential solutions.

*This list is made with the secondary school level mindset but I hope that it is helpful to anyone that may need it.

Thanks Jamie.
