Congratulations to our 2026 MSAT cohort class! They have put in long clinical hours and studied their tails off. In between goldfish snacks this morning, they picked up their diplomas and posed one last time for us. As much as we will miss them around UL, we’re excited to see them spread their wings as professionals. Good luck ladies on your future endeavors and remember, you’re always welcome to come visit (and cause chaos in our simulations). .ann

Izzy had the opportunity to scrub in on a UCL repair with Tulane’s elbow specialist Dr. Savoie. Experiences like this provide exposure to the operating room and the level of care behind orthopedic procedures.

“Care You Can Count On” Preceptor Spotlight: Gillian Griffith

From Kayla: “Gilli has shown me what it really means to be someone athletes can rely on. She handles everything that comes her way with confidence and care. I have been pushed this semester to trust my instincts, stay calm under pressure, and grow into the athletic trainer I’m aspiring to be. She is true the definition of a “slay queen”. I appreciate the patience and grace she has given me. “

Thank you Gillian🌶️

“Care You Can Count On” Preceptor Spotlight: Matt Choice
From Jenna: “Matt has been the best preceptor this semester at Brusly! He consistently takes the time to review material with me, whether during downtime in the athletic training room or while covering games and practices. I have learned so much from him, and he challenges me to become a better athletic training student everyday!”

Thank you Matt🌶️
