Meet Kassidy Dill, who has benefited from the generosity and opportunities afforded by the William’s Scholar. Kassidy’s professional goals are to attend medical school and become a Sports Medicine Physician.
As a William’s Scholar, Kassidy had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by participating in ongoing research focused on sport related knee injury and head trauma in female athletes. Kassidy also pursued an independent research project by examining screening practices for disordered eating in the female athlete. See her online health topic, Screening for Disordered Eating in Female Athletes (PDF), that resulted from this project.
“Working with the CWHW underneath Dr. Shultz & Dr. Duffy was an empowering experience. I not only learned about research, but the importance of strong leadership and the support and connectivity amongst women.”
