🌡️ Preparing for the Unexpected! 🩺

Our 1st year students have been getting hands-on practice with the emergency management of environmental conditions!
From recognizing and managing heat illnesses to practicing re**al temperature assessment, cold-water immersion techniques, and using urinalysis to assess hydration status, students are building the skills needed to provide effective, evidence-based care when it matters most. 💪

Learning by doing is what we do best! 💜💛

This week, Dr. Derek Lawrence, JMU Athletic Training alum and athletic trainer with the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team, joined our students in class to share his experience and insights from the profession.

We’re fortunate to have alumni who continue to invest in the next generation of athletic trainers and give back to the program that helped shape their careers!

Thanks for spending time with our students, Dr. Lawrence! ⚽

🚑 Hands-on emergency care!

1st Years practiced emergency wound management skills, including wound packing and tourniquet application, while working through realistic scenarios. 🩸🩹

See a Day in the Life with JMU MSAT 2nd Year, Gabi!

🗣️ Today, our 1st-year students completed Behavioral Health Teaching Standardized Patient (SP) encounters!

Working in teams, students navigated five patient cases, performing behavioral health examinations and making appropriate referrals. One student led each encounter, with the opportunity to call a “time out” and consult with their team when needed.

These collaborative simulations help students build clinical skills and confidence while practicing active listening, effective communication, and patient-centered care.

Another great day of learning by doing! 💜💛

Big week. Big effort. Big finish. 💪

After crushing exams, OSCEs, and standardized patient encounters, our students got to put motor learning concepts into action with some fun, hands-on activities! 🧠🏃‍♂️

Because the best way to learn is by doing! 🙌

All hands on deck! 👋 Our 1st Years were learning and practicing a variety of finger and wrist special tests today as they continue building their clinical toolbox in Upper Extremity Orthopedic Examination! 💪
