\u201cIt is an honor to be recognized by my peers for the Southwest Athletic Trainers\u2019 Association 2024 Frank Medina Award,\u201d Dr. Green said. \u201cTo be associated with an award named after a pioneer of our professions who had such an impact on his students inspires me to continue to provide the best support I can for the next generation of athletic trainers. The best part of what I do is seeing our students become successful healthcare professionals and continue to make an impact on their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could not be more thrilled to see her recognized with this honor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Green also received the Faculty Excellence in Student Success Award in Spring 2024, as well as the 2022 Texas State Athletic Trainers\u2019 Association Chairman\u2019s Service Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
