"Great course. Enjoyable with concepts (Neuromuscular Taping module) well discussed and explained for easy retention of information to carry back to the clinic. Thank you."
Kristen Hunsuck, PT, DPTNMT COURSE
"I've attended multiple EMR courses, all over the country, in the past and this was the first EMR course that presented content that was actually sport-specific with real-life circumstances. Ann did an amazing job in making the course material applicable for both novice & experienced clinicians working with a wide range of athletes. I would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in pursuing SCS certification or for clinicians who simply just want to feel more confident in their emergency medicine skills."
Lauren Clark, PT, DPTEMR COURSE
"This EMR course was relevant to physical therapist in the sport setting. Dr. Ann has the experience of working as medical staff in sport events with athletes at the highest level. She answered all of our questions and walked us through demonstrations of what to do to ensure the athletes’ safety, from slings and taping to CPR/AED and spine boarding. I highly recommend this course to every PT who is covering any sporting event."
Sofia N. Vizcarra, PT, DPTEMR COURSE
"Dr. Degrey's Emergency Medical Responder - Sports course is a must. Dr. Degrey also provides an amazing hands on lab course load in which she shares industry secrets in wound care, taping, splinting, spine boarding, and more. This class also provides a great opportunity to network with those who are pursuing similar goals. Overall, I would recommend this to any student or seasoned clinician who is looking to get their foot in the door with sports/sports physical therapy."
