Physician Assistant, Athletic Trainer, EMT

Jennifer K.

Doctor of Medical Science, Master of Science in Physician Assistant, Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training. Board Certified and Licensed Physician Assistant and Athletic Trainer, Certified EMT.

Throughout PA school, I held in person study groups and virtual tutoring to assist students with course content and exam preparation. I have presented research and lectured topics to college students and healthcare providers at the state and national level.

While working as a high school athletic trainer, I held weekly meetings for the sports medicine club. Here, topics of medicine, anatomy and physiology, and emergency/first aid were discussed and demonstrated. As an EMT officer, I have taught members of collegiate and township first aid squads various topics including policies and procedures, medical assessments, and physical skills. I am also certified instructor through the American Heart Association to instruct basic life skills including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid to individuals of various ages and medical/non-medical backgrounds. As a member of the Special Olympics New Jersey medical team, I provide 24-hour medical coverage for athletes with intellectual and physical disabilities at the state and national level. I learned how to efficiently interact with and provide care for individuals who are nonverbal, tactile sensitive, or visually/audibly impaired.
