## Resource

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Shelby Baez speaks with Dr. Rachel Geoghegan (A.T. Still University) about her recent publication, "Advancing Care for Pregnant and Postpartum Athletes: A Call to Action for Athletic Trainers". This episode explores the limited evidence around exercise and injury in pregnant and postpartum athletes and emphasizes the vital role athletic trainers play in monitoring health, modifying training, recognizing complications, and supporting mental well-being. Dr. Rachel Gohagan issues a clear call to action: integrate perinatal health into education and research, develop clinical guidelines, and promote interprofessional, individualized return-to-play care so athletes receive evidence-informed and dignified support throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
