COE's sports medicine program hosts president of National Athletic Trainers' Association
 Students in the College of Education's Sports Medicine Program learn how to prevent, manage, evaluate and rehabilitate athletic injuries - useful skills that National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) President Marje Albohm touts as some of the best information students learn in their careers. Albohm, who was the first full-time women's athletic trainer at Indiana University and has worked in the athletic training field for more than three decades, spoke to COE faculty, staff and students on Oct. 29 about her career and the future of the field. "I hear throughout the country how much we as athletic trainers are respected by physicians," she said. "Athletic training skills are so transferable. You have a set of skills where you can work anywhere - colleges, universities, high schools, Cirque du Soleil, the U.S. military, Boeing Airlines, Delta, a physician's office. So when somebody challenges your skills, you should be proud and tell them that you have the best toolbox of skills that anybody could have."
Shelley Linens, who joined the Department of Kinesiology and Health this year as an assistant professor, said she was honored to have Albohm speak to her students. "She heard that we were an up-and-coming sports medicine program and asked if she could come speak to us," Linens explained. "We were so excited to host her."
