2. Organizations caring for patients that are secondary school aged will identify gaps in services provided by their current athletic health care program.
3. Organizations caring for secondary school aged patients will utilize the NATA PASS program to facilitate necessary change in the organizations’ AHCP (Athletic Health Care Program) which will improve patient care.
4. Attendees will distinguish the 12 standards and sub-standards identified in this process.
