Christopher Rizzo presents at International Conference on Interprofessional Practice and Education

Christopher Rizzo, MS, ATC, CSCS, assistant clinical professor in the Athletic Training Program, recently presented during a poster session held at the All Together Better Health Conference held at the University of Pittsburgh. 

Rizzo presented his work titled “Managing Traumatic Injuries in Ice Hockey, an On-Ice Simulation Exercise,” which is based on a simulation event held in the Harold Alfond forum on the UNE Biddeford Campus.  The interdisciplinary exercise in spine injury management brought together local physicians, Biddeford firefighters and EMS, certified athletic trainers and UNE athletic training students to simulate an on-ice cervical spine injury and subsequent emergency services. 

All Together Better Health (ATBH) is the leading global interprofessional practice and education conference. The conference brings together providers, health system executives, educators, policymakers, and healthcare industry leaders to advance interprofessionalism locally, regionally and worldwide.
