Susan Verscheure is a Canadian transplant from Toronto, Ontario. Her interests in sports medicine began at York University where she completed a Bachelor of Science degree with a certificate in sports therapy. Before arriving at the University of Oregon, she became dually certified by the Canadian Athletic Therapy Association and the National Athletic Trainers Association.

Her research interests as a graduate student at University of Oregon focused on issues specific to the athletic woman, including a biomechanical assessment of different sports bra designs, and the effect of estrogen fluctuation on the anterior cruciate ligament and knee injury. During her graduate career, Susan developed a passion for teaching and has focused on creating a non-traditional classroom teaching environment, utilizing active and collaborative learning as a base.

As the human anatomy instructor, she uses problem-solving and case study techniques to emphasize the clinical and practical application of the subject matter. As program director of the NATA-accredited graduate athletic training program, Susan supports her student’s interests in clinical advancement, teaching, and research.
