The Coalition of Iowa Athletic Trainers is working to support the following legislative priorities:

1. Promote and defend the scope of practice of athletic trainers in the state to provide quality healthcare.
   1. Ensure the education, training, and practice of athletic trainers is understood by the public.
   2. Ensure AT licensure and the Board of Athletic Training remain in place to protect all Iowans.
2. Promote the provision of quality healthcare to Iowans, particularly in rural areas.
   1. Monitor and expand incentives for athletic trainers to practice healthcare in rural areas.
   2. Collaborate with other healthcare professions on initiatives to recruit and retain quality healthcare providers in the state.
3. Promote activities and practices that improve safety in sport participation across Iowa.
   1. Monitor, promote, and develop legislation regarding emergency action plans, AEDs, concussion evaluation, and management, and related emergency conditions which would support safe sport participation.
   2. Collaborate with stakeholder organizations who regulate participation and safety in physical and recreational activity.

To achieve these goals, the IowaATPAC relies on the generous support of individuals and organizations who share our vision for a stronger, more effective athletic training profession.
