New ND Sports Medicine Club
National University welcomed a new ND Sports Medicine Club to the Illinois site in February.
“Our plan for the year is to bring in speakers as well as student presentations, to lay a foundation in naturopathic sports medicine,” says Kaley Burns, the club's founder and president. “We hope to cover topics such as Kinesio Taping, cross-fit gyms, nutrition, and the problems of undertraining and overtraining. We also hope to coordinate volunteer work projects at charity events to promote naturopathic medicine in general."
“Several other naturopathic medicine schools with ND Sports Medicine Clubs reached out to us to encourage our starting one at NUHS,” says Kaley. “We are trying to form a national organization with the goal of fostering communication between students from all ND schools on the topic of sports medicine.”
Kaley, a ninth trimester ND student and certified endurance coach, says: “I love sports medicine. While it's easy on an integrative campus to tend toward leaving sports medicine to the chiropractic students, it's important to know that as future NDs, we have a role, too. There are many things we can do for musculoskeletal complaints and sports related injuries.”
Other officers of the club are Vice President Dustin DebRoy and Treasurer Guadalupe Garcia.
