L to R: Scot Ward, Dr. Swiger, Megan Krusinski, Mollie-Jean Burgess, Carrie Begey, and Tom O’Brien.

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.
