Currently I am in instructor in the College of Public Health's athletic training programs. I am also currently investigating genetic markers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS) and variable tandem nucleotide repeats (VNTRs) and their genetic association to concussions. Additionally, in her new line of research she will be designing a concussion-specific outcome measure to identify the patient’s prospective as they recover from concussion.Courses TaughtATHT 5142Foundations of Athletic TrainingGraduateATHT 5244Orthopedic Assessment IIGraduateATHT 5444Therapeutic Interventions in Athletic TrainingGraduateATHT 5644Applied Research in Athletic TrainingGraduateATHT 5808Advanced Sport ConcussionATHT 8344Rehabilitation Methods and Techniques for Sports-Related InjuriesATHT 8348Laboratory Techniques in Athletic TrainingKINS 5444Therapeutic Interventions in Athletic TrainingKINS 8343Orthopedics in Athletic Training/Sports MedicineSelected PublicationsMcDevitt, J., Rubin, L.H., Simone, F.I.D.e., Phillips, J., & Langford, D.
