Sports Medicine I & II

  • Sports Medicine I & II

    Of all the professions in the sports medicine team, none is more closely involved with the athlete than the athletic trainer. 

    The athletic trainer is an individual who deals with the athlete from the time of the initial injury, throughout a period of rehabilitation, until the athlete is able to return to practice or competition. The athletic trainer is most directly responsible for health care in an athletic environment, which includes preventing injuries, providing initial first aid and injury management, evaluating injuries, and designing and supervising an effective program of rehabilitation that ensure a safe and quick return of the athlete to his/her activity.

Sports Medicine Class

  • Sports Medicine Class I & II
     
    Credit: 1 Unit/1 year course
    The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the measures for the prevention, management, and rehabilitation of athletic related injuries. Students will study basic anatomy as it applies to athletic injuries, protective equipment taping and bracing to protect the injured area and different theories of evaluation and rehabilitation techniques as they apply to athletic injuries. Problems such as nutrition, physical examination, wound care, environmental conditions, therapeutic modalities, and the Samuel Clemens athletic training facilities and equipment are discussed.
    Students in this class may be chosen to replace graduating seniors' student athletic trainers for the following fall/spring athletic sports seasons. If chosen these students from the sports medicine class will become members of the Clemens Student Athletic Trainers and have the opportunity to learn real life hands on skills and work closely with the various Samuel Clemens athletic sports teams, coaches, team physician, and staff athletic trainers.
