VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

2/5/2003

TO PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MARCH 2003 AS NATIONAL ATHLETIC TRAINING MONTH IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO COMMEND THE ATHLETIC TRAINING PROFESSION FOR ITS ROLE IN PROVIDING QUALITY CARE TO ATHLETES AND OTHERS ENGAGING IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

Whereas, quality health care is vital for individuals involved in physical activity, and certified athletic trainers are a major provider of care and assistance to athletes and others who engage in physical activity; and

Whereas, athletic trainers undergo nationally regulated educational processes where they acquire skills, knowledge, and specific tasks necessary to provide quality health care to athletes and those engaged in physical activity, and in 1990 the American Medical Association recognized athletic trainers as an allied health profession; and

Whereas, certified athletic trainers provide many important services such as prevention of injuries and recognition, evaluation, and treatment of certain injuries, rehabilitation, health care administration, education, and guidance; and

Whereas, there are more than thirty thousand certified athletic trainers in the United States who are employed in professional sports, colleges and universities, high schools, clinics and hospitals, and in corporate and industrial settings; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate, by this resolution, would like to raise public awareness of the importance of the athletic training profession and emphasize the importance of quality health care for athletes and those engaged in physical activity within the settings referred to above. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, proclaim the month of March 2003 as National Athletic Training Month in South Carolina and commend the athletic training profession for its role in providing quality care to athletes and others engaging in physical activity.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Kent Atkins, President of the South Carolina Athletic Trainers Association.
