Pitt AT alum Josh Miller ’21, now with UPMC Sports Medicine, joined our MSAT-2 students in Advanced Clinical Topics to lead them through fitting and adjusting durable medical equipment (DME). Thank you, Josh, for coming back to Pitt and supporting the next class of athletic trainers!

A Pittsburgh AT matchup!

A few weeks ago, Brashear and Allderdice faced off on the football field, bringing together athletic training students and clinicians from all three Pittsburgh programs. Pitt MS1 student Alexandra Miehl and Duquesne MS1 student Emma Brown joined Chatham MS1 student Claire Schweller, along with Athletic Trainers Jordyn Collier of Brashear and Jayde Chuckalovchak of Allderdice.

Always fun to see Pitt, Duquesne, and Chatham represented on the sidelines of a local rivalry!

Pitt MSAT students Cat Rodriguez and Ava Newman were recently on site supporting Robert Morris University soccer during a men’s and women’s doubleheader. Cat was with the men’s team for its match against Purdue Fort Wayne, which ended in a 0–0 draw. Ava was with the women’s team as they faced Northern Kentucky, with the Colonials falling 2–0.

Ava is completing her clinical experience alongside Alivia Fink ’17, a Pitt Athletic Training alum and her preceptor. It’s always nice to see our students learning from Pitt alumni as they gain experience in different collegiate athletic settings. We look forward to@catalinarod7 .16

Recently, four of our MSAT students were on the sidelines for the Mt. Lebanon vs. Central Catholic football game. Rebecca Miller (MSAT-2) and Max Kral (MSAT-1) were with Mt. Lebanon, while Journey Ambert (MSAT-2) and Sara Scheeser (MSAT-1) were with Central Catholic.

Central Catholic earned the win to remain undefeated on the season but these clinical experiences are what give students the opportunity to work with student athletes in a competitive setting, apply what they are learning, and continue developing their skills under the guidance of their clinical preceptors. .miller29 .scheeser

Students in ATHLTR 1812: Basic Athletic Training Lab are continuing to develop their clinical skills, recently beginning foot-taping techniques for turf toe and arch support. These lab experiences give students time to practice techniques, develop their hands-on skills, and build a foundation for future clinical coursework for those who plan to pursue their MSAT.

MSAT students Celine Matthews and Lukas Wittman experienced their first away game with Pitt Football at Virginia Tech. The Panthers rallied from a 14–0 deficit in a close game that came down to a missed Virginia Tech field goal. Away games give students a different perspective on collegiate athletic training, including the preparation, travel, and responsibilities involved in supporting a team on the road.

Sports Nutrition is heating up and recently worked through a case involving a Division II student-athlete who wanted to increase their protein intake while following a plant-based diet.

Students were challenged to develop a plant-based recipe that provided protein to support training and recovery while also meeting a set budget. The assignment gave students an opportunity to consider how nutrition recommendations can account for an athlete’s performance goals, dietary preferences, and everyday needs.

A look at our first-year preprofessional students putting their ideas to the test in the foods lab!

Check out MSAT-2 students Carly Bruno and Lauren Thrasher and MSAT-1 student Maddie Clopton as they provided care and cheered on the Pitt Women’s Volleyball team against Stanford!

Carly and Maddie are completing their clinical rotation with Pitt Volleyball, while Lauren is placed with Pitt Basketball and is also a member of the Pitt Cheer team.

We love seeing our students take in the full Pitt experience by balancing clinical education, getting involved on campus, supporting one another, and being part of game day from different sides of the court. .laurenstagram

Taking functional anatomy from the classroom to the real world! MSAT-1 students in Dr. Sean Crandell’s Functional Anatomy course had a visit this week from Zach Hunter and Keith Stinnette of Gingerbread Man Running Company. Zach and Keith shared their expertise on running shoe design and shoe fit, helping students better understand how footwear can be matched to runners with all different types of feet.

Thank you Zach and Keith, for spending time with our students!
