UTC Doctors Teach
Guatemalan Counterparts About Sports
Injuries By Webcam
(AP) — Educators and doctors at the
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga are
using webcam videoconferences to teach
Guatemalan physicians how to treat sports
injuries.
Paul Newman, director of sports performance
for Ohio-based Athletes in Action, told the
Chattanooga Times Free Press that the UTC
initiative is the first of its kind for the
faith-based sports ministry.
Gary Wilkerson, research coordinator for the
Athletic Training Education program at UTC,
said medical care in Guatemala is good, but
there's not a lot of knowledge about sports
medicine.
Local doctors in Tennessee offer one-hour
monthly conferences on issues like
concussions and Jones fractures. |
