Viergutz also completed an office clinical rotation with the Grand Canyon University’s team orthopedic physician.
Also during his time at Grand Canyon, in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Brewers sports medicine staff, Viergutz served as an undergraduate research assistant. He assisted with motion analysis/biomechanical projects involving minor league pitchers and position players dealing with "long-toss" and “hitting” studies at the Milwaukee Brewers Maryvale, Ariz., training facility.
