The Bomber Athletic Training education program in the Department of Exercise & Sport Sciences made a major impact on the 2018 National Athletic Trainers' Association Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposia, held in the last week of June in steamy and exciting New Orleans, LA.
Highlighted by 5 peer reviewed research presentations from newly certified and graduated members of the recent Class of 2018 and mentored by Assistant Professor Jennifer M. McKeon, PhD, ATC, CSCS, and a standing room only Evidence-Based Practice plenary session given by Clinical Associate Professor, Todd Lazenby, MA, ATC, a total of 18 Bomber AT faculty and alumni presented research in oral or poster format at the 4 day annual conference.
Also, several program alumni and past and present faculty members attended professional committee meetings as part of their commitment to service and professional development, and Drs. Patrick and Jennifer McKeon and Dr. Paul R. Geisler served as moderators of several free communications sessions.
Over 50 program alumni, past and current faculty, and special guests attended the annual alumni party on a very warm Louisiana Thursday night, where drinks, food, stories and laughs were had by all, and where several attendees left with some updated Bomber Swag, courtesy of IC Alumni Affairs. The annual event continued well past the 9:00 ending time, continuing on til 11:00 p.m. with great conversation between faculty members in attendance and many recent alums! Next year is Las Vegas, so let's keep the excellence going Bomber Land!
