Name Change Task Force??

Through the grapevine I've heard about a task force put together by the NATA regarding a chance of our name. I've also heard they want to keep it a secret but the cat is out of the bag and it will be announced at the end of this month. I heard one of the proposed ones was Athletic Therapist.


I know some will disagree but I feel we need to keep our name. Now also keep in mind I haven't researched this or have no data other than my own feelings and what I know.

I feel we need to put the energy into correcting individuals regarding our name. Also all of the paperwork, licensure  laws, academic transcripts, etc.

We have to be relentless. Correct everyone and be annoying about it.

If we do have a name change I fear people will be just as confused. We will have to correct individuals anway so why not put more energy into that?

Anyway, that's my thought without over dwelling on it. Something to thinking about.
