Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation

The Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation program introduces students to the roles within sports medicine and rehabilitation sciences and other allied health professions.

Students will be introduced to the analysis of human movement based on anatomical and mechanical principles. Emphasis is placed on the anatomy and physiology of the muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems and their interaction in human movement and athletic performance. They will also learn the signs and symptoms of injuries, illnesses, and disorders commonly seen in the physically active population. Students will develop skills in injury prevention, injury and assessment of disease, and using appropriate terminology and medical documentation to record injury and illness. Students develop leadership and community service skills through participation in a career technical student organization (CTSO) HOSA, where they can compete locally, state, or internationally.
