A Homer-Center high school student was recently awarded with a scholarship that includes the opportunity to intern at a leading sports medicine facility in Pittsburgh.
The district announced in a Facebook post that Abbie Ramsell was awarded the 2022 Dr. Freddie Fu Scholarship that comes with a six-week internship at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex and the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex for sports medicine and orthopedic surgery in Pittsburgh over the summer. While interning at the Complex, Ramsell will have the opportunity to observe world renowned surgeons, and she will also view patient evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation by physical therapists and athletic trainers, while watching clients in the Sports Performance Department.
Additionally, she will complete other tasks like preparing treatment areas along with hot and cold packs.
The district adds that her responsibilities are comparable to those of a physical therapy aide.
