Every year, the Southeast Athletic Trainer’s Association
conducts a symposium for athletic training students. This year, two first-year
students and five second-year students accompanied Dr. Ray Castle and Meghan
Reid to the symposium in Atlanta, Georgia. Eduardo Godoy and Benjamin Morale
were selected to give oral case study presentations and Meaghan Hussey and
Tamaria Hollis presented their case studies via posters. These students were
selected from a pool of applications by a selection committee and presented
their case studies to their peers during the conference. First-year students
participated in lectures about concussion assessment and diagnostic testing and
labs involving core stability and emergency management. Second-year students
received advice about career opportunities and writing a resume and gained
hands on experience with joint mobilizations and kinesiotape in labs. Students
were able to once again connect with peers from Quinnipiac University and compare
educational programs. Great job students!
