Training Room Coverage
“Covering the training room is a great clinical experience,” says Kenneth Aguirre. “You’re busy, you see a lot of interesting cases and you gain confidence in your skills.”
Covering the UB training room, you’ll enjoy unrestricted access to Division I athletes, enabling you to practice independently and confidently as a team physician.
During this unopposed rotation, your responsibilities include:
- evaluating and treating injuries sustained during play and practice
- monitoring your patients’ recovery
- helping make return-to-play decisions for athletes on UB’s 20 intercollegiate teams
- taking occasional calls for emergent concerns, such as sutures
You’ll work as part of a team that includes 11 certified athletic trainers and a chiropractor.
Our faculty are available to consult with you whenever necessary, but you’ll be the only onsite physician.
