This resolution designates March as Tennessee Athletic Training Month, recognizing the critical role of athletic trainers as healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnoses, therapeutic interventions, and rehabilitation for injuries and medical conditions. The resolution highlights that athletic training is an officially recognized allied healthcare profession by prominent organizations like the American Medical Association and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and acknowledges athletic trainers' important work in ensuring the health and safety of individuals engaged in physical activities across various levels of sports, from youth to professional. By officially designating a month to celebrate and promote awareness of athletic trainers, the Tennessee General Assembly aims to underscore the vital services these healthcare professionals provide to the state's citizens. The resolution also includes a standard procedural clause allowing for the preparation of an official copy of the resolution to be presented upon request, with certain formal language modifications.
