Friday Seminar

All athletic training students attend "Friday Seminar" each semester in which they do clinical rotations. This seminar allows participation and engagement of the various cohorts in team and confidence building exercises. Friday seminars are also used for guest speakers.

Below, the students were divided into groups and given the assignment to build an anatomical model of the hand using materials found in the athletic training room. They also had to come up with a song about the anatomy of the hand.

Each seminar and activity always becomes memorable!
