San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) February 17, 2017 -- Southwest Sports Wellness Foundation (SWSWF) hosted its High School Sports Medicine Seminar in partnership with Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) and San Diego State University on Saturday, January 14, 2017. The event was attended by 152 students, instructors and athletic trainers in SUHSD’s Career Technical Education (CTE) Medical Pathways Sports Medicine.

“Our seminars are designed to empower students and athletic personnel to recognize and respond to the signs of critical sports injuries,” said Dr. Charles Camarata, founder of Southwest Sports Wellness Foundation. “We need more people on the field and in the gym to know the warning signs of conditions like concussions and sudden cardiac arrest, and we do that while inspiring a new generation of sports medicine professionals.”

Sponsored by Citizen’s Business Bank, the seminar focused on introducing the field of sports medicine to high school students through training by local physicians, certified athletic trainers and physical therapists. Students also participated in lab scenarios designed by nationally recognized certified athletic trainers and medical staff.

“We believe that students need a hands-on, collaborative education to be successful graduates,” said Elaine Elefante-Leano, SUHSD director of College and Career Readiness. “This seminar enabled our students, who are interested in sports medicine, to learn directly from professionals and gain valuable, employable skills.”

The program included a tour of SDSU’s athletic training room and physical therapy facilities, and concluded with a men’s SDSU basketball game against Utah State. Presentations and labs included:

Lab Stations/Topics

• Concussion evaluation and baseline testing - ImPACT Applications, Inc. and Scripps Family Medicine Residency Program
• Anatomy training - Manual Orthopedic Physical Therapy and SDSU’s Future Athletic Trainers Society (FATS)
• Emergency response and sideline awareness (spine boarding) - American Medical Response

• Dr. Jason Galea, PhD Sports Psychologist, talked about returning to sports after injury and careers in sports psychology.
• Burt Grossman, Retired NFL player (San Diego Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles), discussed sports injuries and the role of certified athletic trainers and physical therapists.
