What a great way to spend a Sunday! Yesterday the Ohio University MSAT students and faculty attended the OATA Student Symposium and Quiz Bowl. Students had the opportunity to network with MSAT students and faculty from across the state, learn from a great lineup of presenters, practice dry needling, play athletic training themed charades, and compete in the Quiz Bowl. (Swipe to the end for the best picture of the day.)

Big shoutout to the , especially president and OU MSAT second-year Nicole Powers, for putting on an amazing event!

The future of athletic training in Ohio is bright!

MSAT students were busy last week! We hosted guest speakers from IATS to speak about ATs working in the industrial setting as a lead up to the annual CHSP IPE event. This year we discussed a patient case about a security guard who was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma from exposure working at an atomic plant. Students discussed interprofessional care from symptom onset to referral/diagnosis to treatment/palliative care and end of life care. The event also included panel of local health care providers. We rallied on Sunday to provide medical care at the Athens Marathon with the HCOM med students then spent the rest of the week providing orthopedic screening assessments for the Athens City Fire Dept and practicing casting techniques for final exams……Whew! What a great way to end the semester!
