MATSA Madison Athletic Training Students’ Association
Welcome!!!! Athletic Training: Athletic Trainers (ATs) are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Students who want to become certified athletic trainers must earn a degree from an accredited athletic training curriculum. Accredited programs include formal instruction in areas such as injury/illness prevention, first aid and emergency care, assessment of injury/illness, human anatomy and physiology, therapeutic modalities, and nutrition. Classroom learning is enhanced through clinical education experiences. More than 70 percent of certified athletic trainers hold at least a master’s degree.

HAZING POLICY Section 1: MATSA, in keeping with JMU’s expectations for a positive academic and social environment, unconditionally opposes hazing. No individual member of our group or the group itself may engage in or plan any activity that may be defined as hazing. MATSA opposes any situation created intentionally to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule to its members or potential members. {In addition, no individual or recognized organization may, by physical or mental stress or by subtle or covert technique, impair, make captive, or destroy an individuals’ freedom of thought and choice. } Hazing, under Virginia law, is defined as activities for the initiation or induction into an organization which includes calisthenics or other strenuous physical activity; exposure to inclement weather; consumption of food, liquid, beverage, drug or other substance; confinement in any room or compartment; spraying, painting or pelting with any substance; burying in any substance; burning, branding, or tattooing or another activity which may result in physical injury or endanger the health or life of the individual being hazed. J 17 -101 Section 18. 2 -56 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, declares hazing illegal, establishes conditions for civil and criminal liability and outlines the duties of the university when a student has been found guilty of hazing. Section 2: {It is hereby incorporated as part of this constitution and will serve as a guide for action by the university and MATSA, if there is an instance of hazing by this organization or any of the members of this organization. } It will be the duty of the executive members of MATSA to educate the membership of this policy and enforce this rule among the general membership.
