Professor Kent Scriber and assistant professor Paul Geisler -- both of the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences -- presented three breakouts sessions on clinical reasoning in athletic training at a national conference in Washington, D.C., last weekend.

Professor Kent Scriber, EdD, ATC, PT, and assistant professor Paul R. Geisler, EdD, ATC, presented "Teaching Thinking and Thinking Teaching: Clinical Reasoning in Athletic Training Education." Their presentation focused on the use of clinical reasoning as a viable cognitive scaffold for the teaching and practice of higher-level clinical thinking skills in undergraduate athletic training education.

Attended by over 500 athletic training educators from across the country, the NATA Athletic Training Educators' Conference is a biennial conference that brings together leading scholars and practitioners in the education of nationally certified athletic trainers.
