Meet five LSU Bengal Corps students who are pursuing a two-year leadership development program piloted by the LSU Leadership Development Institute. All of the students are engaged in ROTC, either Army or Air Force ROTC at LSU or Navy ROTC at Southern University.

A new study, “The Association Between Access to Athletic Trainers and Emergency Medical Services Activations for Sport-Related Injuries,” appears online today followed by publication in next month’s issue of the Journal of Athletic Training, the National Athletic Trainers’ Association scientific journal. “This is the first study to investigate how frequently EMS [emergency medical services] was called for sport-related emergencies based on a locale’s access to athletic training services. Athletic trainers are educated to recognize sport-related emergencies and provide necessary care, which includes determining when contacting EMS is warranted,” adds study lead author Rebecca Hirschhorn, PhD, ATC, NRAEMT, CSCS, School of Kinesiology, Louisiana State University.
