OSTA is pleased to open registration for 2027 Membership with new options, new opportunities, new benefits and new Member services.

Let’s start with thanking you for your past Membership and welcoming you to another year distinguished by enhanced advocacy and support for the AT profession in Ontario.

Once again there is no fee increase. Once again there is the opportunity to pay in instalments before the December 31 Midnight deadline.

The OSTA response to the coronavirus pandemic, including a two-year return to “normal” plan over 2022 and 2023, was distinguished by:

• No membership fee increase despite rising costs in a slowing economy;
• A first-in-kind Ontario AT-specific malpractice insurance group plan and a considerable discount;
• A refreshed OSTA website, new branding, new digital ad series, new social media based on enhancing awareness of role of AT in health care themed monthly promos;
• A first-ever Athletic Therapy online learning academy with access to discounted or free e-learning from some significant sources of quality and qualified AT-relevant continuing education;
• New relationship and role for Athletic Therapists as Safe Sport Ambassadors aligned with required training for any teams receiving federal and provincial funding;
• Implementation of the OSTA’s  phased succession plan reinvigorating the Board leadership with a new cadre of young AT practitioners; and,
• On-going advocacy again focused on achieving statutory regulation for Athletic Therapists building proof of competency and skills with a first ever Athletic Therapy Practice Analysis conducted by global accreditation leader SCANTRON.
