Episode description
On today’s episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Katie Mitchell. Katie is an Athletic Therapist, Physiotherapist & Post-doctorate fellow at the University of Toronto. She is also the lead therapist for the Canadian Women’s Para Ice Hockey team.
During this conversation we discussed various topics surrounding concussion. From how concussions progress, to limitations of research, as well as the topic of dual tasking, a focus of her research.
We also discussed Katie’s career in Para sport and some of the unique challenges when considering concussions in this population.
Along the way Katie provides great insight and advice, into the navigating career decisions when you may feel stuck.
