In this course the student will learn and apply the key concepts of evidence-based practice including how to formulate appropriate clinical inquiries, search the relevant medical literature, and find and analyze research to answer a specific question. Basic statistical analysis and interpretation relevant to Athletic Training will be presented including an analysis of measures of variability. Additionally, students will investigate common disablement models and apply key concepts related to diagnostic accuracy, epidemiology, and patient-oriented outcome assessments.
This course provides students with an understanding of the evaluation process, chart documentation, and medical terminology. Time will be devoted to using an electronic medical record system for patient-file management, insurance issues such as filing/tracking claims and third-party reimbursement. The student will learn evaluation techniques including manual muscle testing, soft tissue palpation, bone palpation, and special joint integrity testing techniques.
Students complete multi-week clinical experiences in a variety of settings, performing direct client/patient care guided by a preceptor who is an athletic trainer or physician. Clinical experiences typically begin prior to the first day of the semester and may extend beyond the last day of the semester.

In this course the student will learn to recognize, assess, interpret, and manage conditions related to environmental conditions as well as common congenital and acquired general medical conditions in the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiovascular, endocrine, pulmonary, and integumentary systems. In-depth evaluations of the abdomen and thorax as well as sudden death will also take place in the course.
The student will be introduced to theory and techniques of therapeutic interventions. The student will learn how to critically think through application and development of intervention protocols.
This course provides students with the ability to build upon their foundational knowledge and use current evidence to develop therapeutic intervention protocols which include corrective exercises, special considerations, and a whole-body approach to movement to promote a healthy return to function.
This course provides students with the knowledge of functional human anatomy through cadaveric dissection and classroom instruction. Students will develop an appreciation of human anatomy from regional and systems approaches with the intent of practical application. Special focus is placed on the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. The relationship between structure and function will continually be stressed, emphasizing implications for athletic injury mechanisms and human performance.
In this course the student will learn background, pathomechanics, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, and treatments for brain, spinal, and facial pathologies. The student will learn and apply psychomotor skills involving various palpation skills, range of motion assessments, manual muscle testing techniques, orthopedic special testing techniques, and neurovascular testing pertaining to musculoskeletal evaluation of these areas. Additionally, this course will cover an analysis of legal considerations surrounding the recognition and management of these conditions.
Students complete multi-week, immersive clinical experiences in a variety of settings, performing direct client/patient care guided by a preceptor who is an athletic trainer or physician.
