Professional Education Committee (PEC)
The Professional Education Committee functions as an advocate and a resource for students and educators associated with accredited baccalaureate and entry-level athletic training educational programs. A primary purpose of the Committee is the development and ongoing review of the NATA Educational Competencies. Issues related to entry-level education should be brought to the attention of this Committee.

The Professional Education Committee further meets the needs of students and educators through its Clinical Education Subcommittee and the PEC's affiliation with the College and University Athletic Training Students' Committee (CUATSC).
