Skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing was not just a hobby, it was a lifestyle for Alexander Gerick (DO '26).

Gerick's personal experiences led him to learn more about child injury patterns in board sports. Using national ER data from 2014–2023, he was the first to identify trends in orthopedic and craniofacial injuries.

“If children and teens are passionate about this activity, they shouldn’t be discouraged from participating, as board sports can foster social interaction, help build friendships, and support social development.”
