In the early days of athletic training, it wasn’t that hard to become an “athletic trainer”. Trainers in the early days were basically volunteers. They didn’t have any type of training or certification to be doing that job. Up until 2003, a person would only need certification through NATA curriculum or an internship.

improve the health of human beings. Personally, I feel that research gives me the power to make a direct impact on helping those who are suffering. Additionally, it provides a different skill set that cannot be obtained in any course offered at the university which makes me value my experiences even more. From what I have learned since last year when I began participating in undergraduate research, is that there is no expected or correct answer. This sharpens our creative thinking and problem…

parents enter physician’s office with thoughts about what is and what is not causing their symptoms to transpire offering their own interpretations (Gill & Roberts, 2012). Such encounters will allow for the opportunity for physicians to apply their medical expertise with a goal of promoting wellness, healing, and satisfaction for parents playing the role as patients.

This program consisted of six weeks that were not only challenging but served as one of the greatest learning experience. This program not only tested me mentally; but showed me what I am capable of doing. I was able to get a glimpse of what dental school would be like and the rigorous amount of work I would have. This experience not only excited me as I prepare to continue with this degree but allowed me to encompass my passion for something that few are capable…
