What is the ATC Summit?
The ATC Summit is a free, full-day continuing education event designed specifically for Certified Athletic Trainers across Iowa and the Midwest.
Hosted by The Iowa Clinic's Ortho+ department, the summit brings together ATCs, orthopaedic surgeons, physical therapists, and sports medicine specialists for a day of practical education, hands-on learning, and real conversation.
Whether you're on the sidelines every Friday night or managing a full athletic training room, this summit is built around the cases you actually see — from shoulder dislocations and ankle fractures to concussion assessment and diagnostic ultrasound.
Best of all? It's completely free to attend, and you'll leave with 7 Category A CEUs.
