Class of 2028 | Fall Semester So Far! 

Hello from the Class of 2028! Here’s a little look at what we’ve been up to this fall!

Last week, our class helped out with the Exercise Is Medicine event on campus! We also had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Phil Vardiman from K-State’s Athletic Training Program, who taught us about joint reductions!

We’re learning new skills, gaining hands-on experience, and continuing to grow as future healthcare professionals! 

Up next… WHITE COAT!

Things got a little OUT OF JOINT in Clinical Procedures yesterday!!

A huge THANK YOU to our guest lecturer, Dr. Phil Vardiman, Associate Professor, for sharing his expertise with our PACO28 students!

With a Ph.D. in Kinesiology, an M.S. in Health, Physical Education, and Leisure, and a B.S. in Athletic Training, Dr. Vardiman brought valuable knowledge and hands-on experience to the classroom.

Today’s lesson focused on joint dislocations and reduction techniques. Students learned about and practiced reduction techniques on manikins involving the shoulder, elbow, fingers, patella (kneecap), and ankle.

The joints may have been out of place, but our students were right where they needed to be—learning, practicing, and building confidence in their clinical skills! 😉

Dr. Vardiman, thank you for taking the time to teach, demonstrate, and give our students the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice. We truly appreciate your time, expertise, and dedication to student learning!

Because in healthcare, hands-on learning helps everything come together—especially the joints!
