AHS 6055 - Athletic Training Clinical IV

4 cr

Students will demonstrate their proficiency in all clinical athletic training skills through a practical examination. In addition, students will work intensively to develop and write a critically appraised topic of their choice to be submitted for publication. The critically appraised topic will serve as a capstone project. This course enables the student to work one-on-one with a preceptor in order to: 1) demonstrate proficiency in previously learned athletic training skills through simulated scenarios and 2) apply clinical athletic training skills to a real patient population. Focused proficiencies in this clinical course include: general medical conditions evaluation and management and general health evaluation and intervention. When demonstrating a clinical proficiency, the student must analyze a problem, consider the facts at hand, and make decisions about the appropriate course of action. During clinical assignments students are expected to practice in an ethical manner and make clinical decisions based on best practice standards.
