The resolution recognizes March 2025 as National Athletic Training Month in Vermont, highlighting the essential role of athletic trainers beyond their common perception as emergency responders on the field. It emphasizes that athletic trainers are healthcare professionals who provide comprehensive care, including injury prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation for athletes and physically active individuals. The resolution notes the historical context of athletic training in Vermont, mentioning the establishment of the Vermont Association of Athletic Trainers (VAAT) in 1982, which is dedicated to the education and professional development of its members.

The resolution also acknowledges the affiliation of VAAT with the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA), which has designated March as National Athletic Training Month. It underscores the importance of recognizing athletic trainers as licensed healthcare professionals, as established by Vermont law in 1998. The General Assembly's resolution aims to promote awareness of the contributions of athletic trainers to the health and well-being of Vermonters and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the VAAT.
