Students majoring in Athletic Training (AT) at Piedmont College held a seminar Nov. 17 for area high school students who are also interested in the field. Head Athletic Trainer Matt McKinney, who teaches the Organization and Administration in Athletic Training class, said students in his class planned and executed the event.
Some 51 students from Chestatee, North Hall, and Habersham Central high schools learned about AT basics related to lower body injuries, taping techniques, transporting patients, and correct use of crutches.
The Piedmont students conducting the seminar included Jessica Bergin, Morgan Cheek, Brian Edwards, Trae Gaines, Whitney Lambert, and Bethany Pildner.
