“…remarkable education and networking opportunities”

Heather Hansman, Class of 2013

Hometown: Westside, Iowa
Major: Athletic Training
Research title: “Evidence Based Medicine in Athletic Training: Using Patient-Based Self-Reported Measures in Long-Term Rehabilitation”

“After a semester of collecting research, I was fortunate enough to be selected to present at the Mid-America Athletic Trainers’ Association (MAATA) conference. Even though I was nervous, my presentation on this topic was very rewarding. Also, knowing that I wanted to continue my education in the health field after graduating from BVU, I knew that doing research would not only be interesting, it would help set me apart from other applicants.”
