MoATA Meeting Wraps Up with Great Participation

The 2009 Missouri Athletic Trainers' Association meeting took place on June 5-6th at Saint Louis University. The SLU Athletic Training Education Program and the Doisy College of Health Sciences served at the host for over 140 attendees. No official numbers have been kept for the meetings, but it was thought this was the largest group ever to attend a MoATA Annual Meeting.

On-site registration pushed the attendance to unprecedented numbers.

The Doisy College of Health Sciences atrium provided a great venue for the exhibitors.

Dr. Mark Reinking, Chair of the Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training, greeted the group on Saturday.

The lectures took place in the well-equipped auditorium.

The sunny day created a beautiful atmosphere in the Multipurpose Room for the large numbers at the Hall of Fame and Honors Luncheon.

Ten SLU Athletic Training Students took advantage of the student sessions and attended the luncheon.

The labs at SLU created and excellent setting for the hands-on sessions.
