Missouri AT Demographis

The MoATA Executive Committee requests your assistance in the collection of AT workplace demographics for the State of Missouri. On, or around, the date of December 14th you should have received a survey request from the Missouri Department of Commerce & Insurance (DCI). As indicated in that email, the information will be used to assess practice locations, specialty, availability and demographic characteristics of our athletic trainer workforce.  This is a very easy and brief survey and will take less than 5 minutes of your time. 


Find the survey at: https://showmeportal.missouri.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=9P8XH8A8HC


Simply have the following items ready prior to starting the survey:

1. Your Missouri License #
2. Your registration/renewal PIN number. This is located in an email on or around Nov. 5th from licensure@pr.mo.gov or via postal mail. 
3. Your NPI number. If you do not have an NPI number, we ask that you register for one at  https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/#/. It is vitally important that, if ATs want to be fully recognized as healthcare providers in the state of MO, each of us has an NPI.

Responding to this email provides vital demographic information recognizing the nature of our practice as healthcare professionals. This information could be readily accessible to, and viewed by, key regulators and legislators. MoATA President, Rob Carmichael, emphasizes, "This data could be an important tool in helping recognize the presence and value of athletic trainers in various practice settings within the state of Missouri.  In addition, it helps us utilize credible within-state, third-party data to accurately communicate with and educate key stakeholders about the updates related to our practice act and future legislative efforts "  This is why it is so important for all Missouri ATs to take just 5 minutes to share basic demographic information about how and where they practice within the state.
