Dean Matthew Theriot joined Clinical Professor Jennifer Plant and Master of Athletic Training students for a hands-on lesson in concussion assessment.

Students worked through simulated injuries, practicing how to recognize concussion symptoms, evaluate athletes and determine the appropriate next steps in their care. They also had the chance to put Dean Theriot through the assessment process!

The exercise gave students an opportunity to apply what they've learned in the classroom and practice the skills they'll need as effective athletic trainers.

Last weekend, UCF alumni volunteers from CHPS, the UCF College of Medicine, and the UCF College of Nursing teamed up to support Project Right to Sight – a project of the Lions Club International that expands access to vision care for uninsured and low-income individuals.👓

Together, our alumni sorted, cleaned, labeled, and prepared 20,000+ pairs of donated glasses for storage and distribution to our community and beyond. Thank you to everyone who dedicated their time and service to this meaningful effort!

At our Rehabilitation Innovation Center, a unique pilot program is incorporating hologram technology and AI avatars to help give students the experience of interacting with actual patients.

“Somebody who has maybe some mobility challenges or other health-related challenges, it isn’t necessarily safe or easy for them to come to campus,” says Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs and Healthcare Innovation Bari Hoffman. So AI and hologram technology have allowed the college "to create something that is reproducible across programs, across days, across semesters; it allows us to really scale those experiences,” she says.
