Sports Medicine is designed to provide students with a knowledge of the wide range of sports medicine related careers, and competency in entry level professional skills. Students will learn the methods of prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries, an intensive focus on musculoskeletal anatomy, as well as the basics of sports nutrition. Lectures and laboratory activities will include musculoskeletal anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, emergency procedures and basic first aid. Preventative taping and wrapping, and splinting techniques will also be included. After successful completion of this course students will have the opportunity to acquire clinical hours with local allied health care professionals through the Athletic Training or Community Health Care Practicum courses, allowing for hands-on application of topics covered in the course.
