ATRN 8150 - Winter Institute - Innovation to Advanced Athletic Healthcare


5 credit hours

This course provides an opportunity for examination of the interrelationship of athletic training, ethics, and the law, while simultaneously exploring the major components of the athletic training profession and the contemporary issues confronting those systems. The class is designed to enhance the athletic trainer’s understanding of legal and risk management concepts as they pertain to daily clinical practice, especially to those aspects of practice at high risk for liability claims, including sports pre-participation physical evaluation, discharge decision-making, preventative activities, and acute injury management and emergency care.

* Course may be transferable if completed prior to the DAT program as a part of ATSU’s Master of Science in Athletic Training (M) or the Certificate in Clinical Decision Making in Athletic (C). Please see the Advanced Standing section of the DAT program section.
