Students will gain knowledge in injury/illness pathophysiology, evaluation, and immediate corrective course of action. History of the profession, necessary  educational background and job opportunities, and the value of interprofessional collaboration will be discussed in order to promote professional development. The evaluation sequence, along with proper documentation, will be introduced and students will be encouraged to apply this knowledge. 

Additionally, students will apply the hands-on skills to preventative or post-injury management. Throughout the course, students will be using and
focusing on their critical thinking skills in relation to their profession.

This course will provide fundamental and foundational information for the allied health profession of Athletic Training to Master of Science in Athletic Training students. Theories and techniques for performance of victim assessment, basic life support and medical emergencies will be taught, enabling students to administer immediate care to an injured or suddenly ill person.

This course is primarily focused on physical activity-related conditions and will begin to equip the student with the basic emergency skills of an Athletic Trainer.

The purpose of this course is to provide a fundamental introduction to the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT). Students will come to understand the critical role of clinical evidence in research as allied healthcare professionals. The focus of the course will explore how epidemiology shapes healthcare practices for patients. Exploration wil include the acquired knowledge of the steps to find reliable information and the ability to critically process the link between data collection and professional practice.

The first in a series of Athletic Training clinical experience courses, this practicum course provides students with an opportunity to apply classroom material. Students will gain clinical experience under the supervision of designated clinical preceptors, ranging from direct patient-care to athletic training administration and healthcare organization. 

Clinical assignments may occur in a variety of settings: athletics (youth, secondary, collegiate, professional, general populace), clinical, performing arts, military, civil servants, industrial emergency, or general medical/healthcare.

This course requires inital communication with the instructor, clinical experience hours, and finishes with communication summarizing said clinical experence.

This didactic course introduces students to the clinical evaluation and management of appendicular skeleton (lower and upper extremity) injuries and conditions. Additionally, students will be
presented with the pathophysiology of common ailments, including looking at etiology, prevention and management of said ailments. There will be a strong emphasis on anatomy of bone, 
muscle, and ligament at each joint. Students will be presented with hands-on clinical assessment of each area and will be evaluated on their individual psycho-motor skills.

This course is intended for students in the MS for Athletic Training program. The course reviews the scientific and foundational principles associated wth pain theory, tissue response, clinical
decision-making, and the role of psychological complexities. Finally the symbiotic relationship between those principles and those of therapeutic interventions will be discussed, debated and
researched.

This laboratory course is intended for students in the MS in Athletic Traning program. The course provides the opportunity for students to apply principles and therapeutic techniques learned in
the didactic Therapeutic Interventions and Application I course. An emphasis is placed upon students utilizing modalities, therapies, and other interventions to achieve desired Patient-Reported Outcomes.

This course in human anatomy is designed to present an extensive and fairly intensive consideration of the regions and systems of the human body. This information will be presented formally in lecture from both regional and systemic perspectives. This body of anatomical knowledge will be supplemented and reinforced by audiovisual materials and direct examination of anatomical models, human skeletal materials, and human cadavers.

The Human Anatomy Lab is taught concurrently with BIO 534. The student will build upon information gained in the Human Anatomy course with clinical lab application corresponding to the lecture material. This lab includes cadaver dissection and students are encouraged to use a hands-on approach when examining the structures of the human body.
