Parkway Central - Home of the Colts!
By: Sarah Hall, SLU MAT Class of 2013
At Parkway Central High School this year I have been able to
interact with coaches, athletes, the athletic director, administrators, and
parents. Parkway Central hosts many
Basketball and Soccer tournaments every year because they have such a big
beautiful campus. Matt Markelz is the
athletic trainer, he is contracted through PRORehab to provide services to the
school. Matt has been at PCH for 8
years.

I have been able to experiences
some unique opportunities during my time here. First I was able to observe
surgery for a day at City Place with Dr. Ramus.
I was able to watch 2 knee arthroscopic surgeries, 2 shoulder arthroscopic surgeries and an ACL
Replacement of one of our own PCH athletes.
I have also been able to work with water polo, a sport I have not yet
ever watched. I got the opportunity to
travel with the football team to Camdenton for the quarter finals where we
won.
We have recently had a pre-professional SLU AT student, Shannon Kane with us observing, it has been nice
sharing my experiences with her and helping her prepare for her time in the
professional phases of the AT program. I
have enjoyed my time at PCH, it has been a good learning environment for my
final year.
This is one of a series of posts by the Saint Louis University Athletic Training students featuring their clinical site and their preceptors. The number, quality and diversity of clinical instruction are major assets for the SLU AT Program.
