Personalized Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation (PBFR) is a paradigm shifting intervention for the rehabilitation professional with over 160 peer-reviewed articles in the scientific literature. By applying a tourniquet briefly and intermittently to an exercising limb you can induce significant and substantial strength, hypertrophy and endurance changes while using a very light load.

Shandra Esparza discusses the Role of Residency in Athletic Training at the 2019 Trinity University Sports Medicine Workshop.
Are you adding depth?
What are residencies?
Same concept as a medical student… an opportunity to dig deeper and learn in a supervised environment.
Furthermore, residencies are a way to add depth to our skill set rather than just learning a little bit about more things.
Why do we need them?
To continue to keep ATs relevant we have to change with the population needs. If we want to get out of the Athletics Model we must be willing to change our educational paths
Where will they lead us?
Into new practice settings
New skill sets
New Job Opportunities
Have you been through a residency?
Share your experience with everyone.
I would certainly appreciate you to reaching out to me
We invite you to be a guest on the Sports Medicine Broadcast so that we old timers can know and understand the role of residency in helping shape your career.
