ISU Professor First Woman in Idaho to be Inducted into Athletic Training Hall of Fame

Moffit was the first woman in Idaho and the second woman in the Northwest district to receive this honor. She is one of only six people in Idaho to receive this prestigious recognition. 

 The Northwest Athletic Trainers’ Association (NWATA) is the professional membership association for certified athletic trainers and others in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington who support the athletic training profession that represents athletic trainers. The NWATA Hall of Fame Award is given to a member who has consistently served and demonstrated outstanding and unusual service to the NWATA and profession of Athletic Training over an extended period of time.

 “I feel undeserving of this recognition. There are many athletic trainers who, on a daily basis, put forth their best efforts to make a positive impact on their patients', students', and others' lives in this district,” Moffit said. “This feels normal, not exceptional. This year is my 30th year of working as an athletic trainer, the 50th anniversary of Title IX, and the 50th anniversary of the NWATA. I am elated to be the second female inducted into the NWATA Hall of Fame in a year of milestones. The women of this district are doing great things and I know I will not be the last.”

 Moffit is the program director of the Master of Science in Athletic Training program at Idaho State University. Prior to her time at Idaho State University, Moffit taught and was an athletic trainer for the Meridian School District in Meridian, Idaho for 10 years, as well as was the undergraduate athletic training program director at Temple University in Philadelphia. She is the national chair of the National Athletic Trainers' Association Connection and Engagement Committee, a CAATE Site Visitor, and has been involved with the BOC Exam Committee for twelve years. She received the NWATA Service Award in 2016, the NATA Service Award in 2017, the NATA Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award in 2018, the District Director's Award in 2019, and the ElevATe Award and the CAATE President's Award in 2021. Moffit volunteers at the Pocatello Free Clinic and is joined by her students to provide medical care at the Pocatello Marathon, the Simplot Games, and the Scout Mountain Ultra. Earlier this month, Moffit also received the Idaho State University 2022 ​​Outstanding Service Award.
