Throughout the month of February, Assistant Professor Dr. Cheyenne Falat, MD, provided audiences across the Nation with safety tips and best practices for winter outdoor sports.

“As a skier, snowboarder, and emergency medicine doctor myself, I can tell you firsthand that skiing and snowboarding are some of the most exciting activities imaginable but also some of the most dangerous,” Dr. Falat said, in an EverydayHealth article published February 24.

Dr. Falat echoed these sentiments in an interview with Delaware’s WDEL-FM, on February 18.

Following February’s tragic avalanche accident in California, Dr. Falat was also interviewed by an ABC affiliate in San Francisco, emphasizing the need to protect emergency response workers in critical cold-weather situations.
