Hokie ClubThe Virginia Tech Sports Medicine Association will be holding a one-day sports medicine clinic for athletic trainers, physical therapists, physical therapist assistants and other allied health professionals.
The event, known as the Eddie Ferrell Memorial Clinic, is scheduled for Feb. 23, 2008 and will be held in the south end zone of Lane Stadium, as well as the nearby Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM).
The goal of the clinic is to provide an opportunity for learning and sharing techniques in the management of current issues in athletics. Participants will have the ability to spend time in the state-of-the-art cadaver laboratory at VCOM, where they will have the chance to work with prosected cadavers to identify major anatomical structures and injury scenarios that relate to the head and neck. There will also be case studies and breakout groups that cover evaluation techniques and rehabilitation tips.
Anyone with an interest in athletic training, or the medical field as it relates to athletics, is encouraged to take advantage of this great learning experience.
