The Versatile Injury Prevention and Embedded Recovery (VIPER) Clinic at Basic Military Training works to ensure trainees remain in the training pipeline. “When a trainee gets injured in training, that’s a huge burden on the trainee,” says Maj. Korey Kasper, 37th Training Wing Human Performance Squadron sports medicine physician, “that’s why injury prevention is such a key to what we do in VIPER.” The team’s goal is to prevent injuries that would result in musculoskeletal injury attrition, lost training time, and increased Airmen production by inserting sports medicine teams in the training environment.
