Athletic Training Student Receives Award
Jessie Germeroth, a 2004 graduate of the
Athletic Training Education Program at Campbell University, was named
the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Trainers' Association (MAATA) scholarship
winner for 2004.
A native of Reisterstown, MD, Germeroth was
president of Campbell’s Athletic Training Club for the 2003-2004
school year. She previously served as secretary of the club. As a
student, she was also involved in student athlete tutoring, worked
on the staff of the Pine Burr (the university yearbook), and
was an officer in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Athletic Training is an allied health profession
encompassing emergency care and injury prevention, assessment,
treatment, and rehabilitation of the athletic and physically active
population. Often grouped as Sports Medicine, athletic trainers work
closely with physicians of various specialties, and are held to rigorous
continuing education requirements. At Campbell, the program is housed
within the Department of Exercise Science.
Germeroth was presented with her award at the MAATA
Annual Symposium at the Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach, VA, on May
21-23. There she also presented her abstract on the Female Triad, a
condition that affects physically active women through amenorrhea,
eating disorders, and osteoporosis.
