What has been your favorite experience while being in the MS-AT program? My favorite experience in the MS-AT program has been able to work in a clinical setting and work with patients post-surgery and creating rehabilitation programs for them. It’s an awarding experience to see your patients make small improvements every appointment. I have also been able to observe surgery at the hospital, which has been a great opportunity. What advice would you give someone that’s looking to join our MS-AT program? My advice is for students looking to join the MS- AT program is to be involved early with volunteer opportunities to get more hands on experience whenever you can. Don’t be afraid to step up and get out of your comfort zone. Even if you make a mistake, that is the best way to learn.
Where do you want to work in the future? I want to complete a athletic training residency program first and then would like to end up working in a rehabilitation clinic or hospital setting. What one interesting fact you’ve learned while in class? A fun fact I won’t forget is that the ligaments of the lateral meniscus are the Wrisberg and Humphrey ligaments.
