Course Description
Athletic Training Practicum II incorporates practical and clinical experience with the focus on
evaluating, assessing and treating athletic injuries. Students will analyze the recognition,
etiology, signs and symptoms and functional anatomy of athletic injury. Application of special
testing and treatment of common athletic injury will be practiced. Clinical experience consisting
of observation hours will be required for each student. Students will work closely with an ATC
(certified athletic trainer) in a clinical setting to observe clinical competencies prese nted in the
athletic training field. Observations may include clinical and/or game and practice exposure.
