My primary responsibilities included answering the triage phone during business hours. These calls range in severity. Some result in referral to the ER, or same day appointment in office. Many calls are to guide patient through pre or post-op questions/concerns. I worked directly with our orthopedic surgeons which includes 2 podiatrists, and our neurosurgeon. My skills and experiences as an athletic trainer make me uniquely qualified for this work as I have immediately managed many of the conditions seen in the clinic and can make the clinical treatment run more smoothly. I regularly applied casting, splinting, and bracing. This includes the management and ordering of our DME inventory. I am proficient with post-op wound management which ranges from scope holes, to long incisions, to more complicated dehiscence or infection situations. On-top of my traditional athletics training skills this job has pushed me to gain clinical and administrative experience. I have a greater understanding of health insurance, surgical intervention and care, patient education, and daily patient interaction with members of the general population. Show less

I was familiar with Women's Ice Hockey but this was indeed taken to the next level as this team had a number of International athletes some of who played for their countries National Teams. Throughout my stay at UMD I transitioned from working primarily with one team of 30 athletes, to independently providing care for over 80 athletes. Each of those two roles taught me different strategies for managing my time. I believe if you ask my employer, they would say I did an exceedingly well job at managing a high volume of athlete injuries/conditions while not sacrificing quality of care. Aside from direct patient care I held numerous responsibilities including: Preceptor for athletic training students at the College of St. Scholastica Emergency Action Plan (created, updated, and implemented training) Certification of Coaches for CPR Maintained therapeutic modality annual calibration Highlight Injuries/conditions: Worked with athlete through schizophrenia diagnosis and return to play. Management of non-concurrent bilateral Achilles rupture from diagnosis, 2 different surgical approaches, to return to play. Show less

My primary responsibilities were to evaluate and treat injured athletes and make appropriate referrals. About 50% of my time would be spent working one on one with athletes for injury rehabilitation. As this is a contact sport I gained valuable experience learning to be effective and efficient with on-ice evaluations. Highlight "injuries" include: Referee with head lac from puck. Quad tendon rupture from moment of injury through to return to play. Management of an instance where the rink glass broke/shattered during a hit. An injured athlete had to be extracted from the debris and equipment removal was delicate. Show less
