2nd Observation

Wednesday afternoon after my Interpersonal Communications class, I went to the University Center to observe Kim and other students in the athletic training program. They were dressed in their proper uniform which consists of a NSU athletic training logo white t-shirt,khaki or blue pants, and sneakers. I followed them to the training facility inside the University Center.Their rotation was quit different on this day because instead of attending to injured athletes, the assignment was to name and identify medical supplies. Kim later told me that this task was important because when working with the athletes one must know which appropriate medical supplies or equipment to use for these individuals.I thought this task was very necessary as well because I know that because having an inexperienced trainer could result in malpractice. After each student successfully completed their task they had permission to leave. Although this rotation was different, it was a great introduction to see what is to come in future clinical experiences.
