In this episode of the AT Last Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Koyya Lewis-Trammel, a passionate advocate for representation and equity in athletic training. Koyya shares her journey as a woman of color in sports medicine, reflecting on the barriers she’s faced and the mentors who helped her navigate the profession. Her story underscores why representation is critical not only for patients, but also for the next generation of healthcare providers.

The conversation expands to explore the role of wearable technologies in shaping the future of athletic training. Koyya highlights how tools for continuous monitoring, injury prevention, and performance tracking could revolutionize the field., but she also warns of the equity risks if underserved communities are excluded from access. For her, innovation must go hand-in-hand with inclusion.

Together, these themes paint a vision of sports medicine that is both more diverse and more technologically advanced, ensuring that progress benefits all communities.
