2016 CAATE Accreditation Conference

2016 CAATE ACCREDITATION CONFERENCE

1

GREETINGS FROM PRESIDENT MARK MERRICKOn behalf of the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE), I would like

to welcome you to our 3rd Accreditation Conference. I am pleased and excited about the timely

topics in the program, the excellent speakers who will be presenting, and I’m particularly eager to

hear our keynote address from Dr. David Perrin, Dean of the College of Health and Professor in the

Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training at the University of Utah.

The educational landscape in athletic training is evolving with professional education moving to a

master’s degree only pathway. The CAATE accreditation standards are likewise evolving to reflect

graduate entry to the profession and preparing athletic trainers for future practice. I know you will

find the conference sessions to be valuable to learn about and discuss the suggested changes,

but just as important are the opportunities for networking and informal discussion with peers. I

hope you will take the time to connect with long-time colleagues and meet some new ones. I’m

confident that you will find this conference to be enjoyable and valuable for both you and your

institution and I’m delighted that you are here to join us.

THANK YOU TO THE CONFERENCE PLANNING COMMITTEEValerie Herzog Forrest Pecha
