Dr. Wanda Swiger, coordinator of the athletic training program, and Scot Ward, coordinator of clinical education, took student volunteers from athletic training to staff the Medical Tent/Finish Line area for the Boston Marathon last April. The athletic trainers work with the physicians, podiatrists, nurses, physical therapists on the medical team. The trainers in the finish-line area triage any athlete needing medical attention, to determine the best course of action for the athlete.
