Senate Resolution 50, sponsored by Massey, designates March as Tennessee Athletic Training Month to honor the essential contributions of athletic trainers in the state. Athletic trainers are recognized as health care professionals who work alongside physicians to provide a range of services, including injury prevention, emergency care, clinical diagnoses, and rehabilitation. Their role is acknowledged by various health organizations, emphasizing their importance in ensuring the safety and well-being of athletes and individuals involved in physical activities, from youth sports to professional levels.

The resolution highlights the significant impact athletic trainers have on the health care system in Tennessee, particularly in injury prevention and management. By designating March as a month to celebrate and raise awareness of their contributions, the resolution aims to recognize the vital services provided by athletic trainers to the citizens of Tennessee. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, omitting the final clause.
