A systematic approach is used to instruct prefixes, suffixes, and word roots of Greek and Latin origin with emphasis on definitions, pronunciation, spelling, and utilization of terminology in the context of health care. Medical abbreviations and human anatomy are also discussed.
This is the first of four courses which study the responsibilities necessary for proper utilization of athletic training facilities, equipment, and supplies. First or second semester athletic training students are required to participate in on-campus and/or off-campus clinical observation activities for a total of 40 observation hours during the semester. Students are also required to attend seminar lectures and meet at regularly scheduled times for lecture. This course must be satisfactorily completed before a student can continue into their second year of clinical studies.
This course is meant to serve as an introduction to pharmacology for students pursuing careers in Athletic Training or other avenues of health care. Principles underlying the actions of drugs are presented, including pharmacokinetics, drug-receptor interactions, and drug metabolism. Mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects, adverse effects and therapeutic indications are covered for major classes of drugs commonly used in sports medicine. Common social and performance enhancing drugs will also be covered. The student will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles of therapies for various conditions, and will become comfortable with the reasoning processes involved in solving problems that might arise with patients receiving care for certain conditions.
