Hey AT Students!!! You can get an NPI also. As an athletic training student, you may or may not be familiar with the National Provider Identifier (NPI). Approximately 750 athletic training students have their NPI. Change the culture and be a leader, apply for yours today!!!

National Provider Identifier (NPI) What is an NPI?

Be a leader; only about 35% of the athletic training profession have their NPI.

NATA strongly encourages all athletic trainers to get for their NPI. Having an NPI improves recognition of athletic trainers as health care professionals across all settings.

“An NPI number is a professional requirement that adds credibility to the individual and the profession," said Amy Callender, NATA Government Affairs Director. "NATA encourages all members to obtain their NPI number, which will stay with them for the rest of their career, no matter their job setting or employer."

Attention current junior and senior AT students. With summer around the corner Lifelong Fitness would like to open their facility up to intern candidates.

LifeLong Fitness is a small private facility located in Brentwood, Missouri that focuses primarily on restorative work with various complex joint conditions. Their clients come primarily by way of physician and physical therapist referral and most arrive with multiple pre-existing conditions. Each client walks through the door with hopes of improving their quality of life and the team at LifeLong Fitness helps bring that hope to fruition.

Their ideal candidate for the internship would be one with a strong understanding of biomechanics, kinesiology and functional movement patterns. They are looking for someone who is eager to learn and has the capacity to assimilate large amounts of information. The candidate must also be detail oriented and have strong communication skills.

The ideal candidate would be a good fit for hire upon completion of the internship.

If you are interested or you would like more information, please email your resume and cover letter to Jeremy Meletti at [email protected]
