SLU AT Clinical Site Spotlight - Christian Brothers College High School
By: Sydney Nash (MAT Class of 2022)
My clinical experience at Christian Brothers College (CBC) High Schoool has been nothing short of exciting! As spring sports are in full swing and the Athletic Training room is busy! As spring athletes are starting to come into the athletic training room, we are constantly trying to learn who they are due to the fact students who were freshman last year have likely not met the athletic trainer and my preceptor at CBC Kristen Jeans ATC, LMT, from Mercy Sports Medicine. All of the athletes who have not been able to play for at least 1 year having their spring season taken from them last year are very excited to get back on the field for this season.
As students start coming into the Athletic Training room, we have been doing a lot more rehab this semester compared to the first semester. I have been learning a lot in regard to post surgical rehab and strengthening. Our athletes have been diligent in coming in and doing their rehab so they can develop their strengths and get out there to safely play the sports they love.
Throughout this semester I have been able to be hands on with our athletes and become more confident in my skills. Kristen has provided me with numerous tips and things to consider when evaluating patients. Being able to have Kristen as a preceptor has provided me with great knowledge and experience here at Christian Brothers College.
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.
