Amid Native American Heritage Month, SCU honors the importance of diversity in transforming and redefining health and healthcare education

November is National American Indian Heritage Month. SCU is joining in paying tribute to the rich ancestry and traditions of Native Americans as part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion and our ongoing efforts to increase the representation of populations underrepresented in medicine, who serve our community as healthcare providers. In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we’re spotlighting SCU DC Student Shayla Hartz, SCU Cal Chiro Vice President and SCU ICPA Secretary. Shayla is half Lakota Oglala and her family is originally from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

What is kinesiotaping and what does it treat? Ask the Professor, with SCU’s Dr. Michael Fanning

You may have seen strips of colorful tape across the arms, legs, and other body parts of Olympic athletes to high school players. With the launch of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar, we’ll be seeing many world-class professional athletes across 32 global teams wearing this tape throughout November and December. The tape is called Kinesiology Tape, and some refer to it simply as KT. We had Dr. Fanning give a lesson in Kinesiology Tape 101.
