Our
athletic training education program is supported by Western

our program is Dr. Michael Reeder, DO, FACEO who also serves
as Adjunct Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and
is a Team Physician. Our team physicians/orthopedic surgeons
are Dr. Mitchell Copeland, DO, and Dr. Larry Copeland, D.O.,
FAOAO, FACOS (Head Team Physician). All three physicians
conduct regular clinics at the college and teach several
in-service sessions for our athletic training program. Dr.
Reeder teaches HPWA 430 Medical Conditions and Pharmacology

from the services of a team chiropractor, Dr. Terry L. Sweet
from Grand Junction Chiropractic.
