The University of Iowa offers strong faculty and
laboratory/clinical resources within the Integrative Physiology and Orthopaedic
Surgery Departments. These
two departments have a legacy of excellence in their academic programs.
Part of that legacy has been initial NATA Approval in 1974 and continuous
approval or accreditation, now with CAATE, since that time. CAATE
is the Commission on Accreditation for Athletic Training Education. You can find out more about CAATE and accreditation for
athletic training and the profession of athletic training at the two
sites: CAATE
and NATA
Education Council. |
