A big thank you to Kelsey Cowles, Rose Turner, Alexi Zukas the Pitt Health Sciences Library team for helping our students take anatomy learning to the next level!

Our students had the opportunity to explore anatomy-focused technology, including the Anatomage Table and virtual reality goggles, creating an interactive and immersive experience that brought anatomy to life in a whole new way.

Experiences like these provide our students with innovative ways to visualize, explore, and better understand the human body as they prepare for careers in healthcare.

One of our favorite parts of our program is seeing our students learn from clinicians who are passionate about teaching.

A big thank you to Joan Reed and Marisa Debski for spending time with our Athletic Training students today at the Petersen Sports Complex, leading spine board training and sharing your experience. Your willingness to mentor, teach, and invest in our students makes a lasting impact as they grow into confident, compassionate athletic trainers.

One of the best parts of the annual Clinical Symposia & AT Expo is reconnecting with the people who make the Pitt Athletic Training community so special.

During this year's meeting in Philadelphia, alumni, faculty, current students, and friends of Pitt's Athletic Training and Sports Medicine programs gathered for an evening of conversation, networking, and catching up. It was especially meaningful to see generations of individuals together, from alumni and faculty dating back to the 1970s to today's students, all sharing stories and celebrating the program's legacy. We were also excited to welcome Jimmy Onate, the new Dean of SHRS, to the gathering.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We're proud to be part of a community that continues to support, inspire, and connect athletic trainers across generations.
