Jim Clover, Med, ATC, PTA

Description:

This course provides a knowledge of the components of sports medicine including careers related to sports medicine; prevention, recognition, evaluation, care and rehabilitation of athletic injuries; taping and wrapping techniques; nutrition; anatomy/physiology; organizational and administrative considerations.

Goals:

A regular health class or clinical rotation cannot address the many facets of careers in medicine. Students in general are unaware of the variety of careers offered in medicine, specifically sports medicine, the education required for those careers, and the responsibilities that accompany the careers.

Acknowledge student interest in medicinal professions and sports related fields of study. The course provides a head start in content mastery of anatomy/physiology; psychology of sport and injury; injury recognition and evaluation; injury prevention; injury care; career opportunities; professional liability and responsibilities; and budget and facility design.

Sports Medicine 1 bridges the gap between health class and clinical rotation for students interested in medical related careers, including but not limited to sports medicine, athletic training, orthopedics, and physical therapy.

The extensive knowledge acquired in anatomy/physiology, injury prevention, recognition and care of injuries provides students necessary tools to deal with the management of their own personal medical care. An informed society is greatly needed to make decisions in health
