Erica Engelhaupt of Sanford Sheldon joined us to talk about athletic training and the work she does both in the clinic and with our high school athletes. She even led a volunteer through a typical knee injury assessment, explaining what she looks for during the evaluation. Since many of these students will work closely with her if they participate in high school athletics, it was a great opportunity to better understand her role.
