New Athletic Training Simulation Lab opens in Kinesiology

During an afternoon ceremony last Thursday in UGA’s Ramsey Center, officials and faculty with the UGA Athletic Department and the UGA College of Education officially opened the new Athletic Training Simulation Lab in the Department of Kinesiology. The lab, which is located on the second floor of Ramsey’s academic wing, is equipped with video cameras and realistic looking “SimMan” mannequins to allow students the opportunity to practice athletic training methods in a simulation environment.

The state-of-the-art equipment was made possible by a donation from Susan Harrison and her husband, the late Dr. J. Harold Harrison. The Augusta residents requested the gift, which was part of a larger donation to UGA Athletics, be used for athletic training education. Using the gift to create the new lab in the UGA College of Education’s Department of Kinesiology was a good fit.
