NATA 2024
The NATA Convention Program Committee has developed a strong educational program that features a variety of learning formats. This year, expanded hands-on Learning Labs and Interactive Lectures (PDF) will be offered exclusively to in-person attendees.
While there will be a wide variety of topics presented in New Orleans, the NATA Convention Program Committee has identified two key themes for NATA 2024 Convention:
Health Care Administration: This theme is focused on topics related to the policies, procedures, operation and oversight of health care facilities and providers.
Performance Recovery: This theme is focused on strategies to enhance physical and mental recovery and improve performance.
Sneak peek at some hands-on and interactive learning sessions:
- “A Patient Case Approach to the Differential Diagnosis of Dizziness”
- “Fueling for Performance & Recovery-A Multidisciplinary Approach”
