Student Learning Outcomes

Code:	Learning Outcomes:	How students will practice each outcome in this course:	How student achievement of each outcome will be  assessed in this course:
CIP-8	Demonstrate the ability to recognize and refer at-risk individuals and individuals with psychosocial disorders and/or mental health emergencies. As a member of the management team, develop an appropriate management plan (including recommendations for patient safety and activity status) that establishes a professional helping relationship with the patient, ensures interactive support and education, and encourages the athletic trainer’s role of informed patient advocate in a manner consistent with current practice guidelines.	Labs Quizzes Peer-checks	Semester Logs Exams Rehabilitation Project
CIP-7	Select and integrate appropriate psychosocial techniques into a patient’s treatment or rehabilitation program to enhance rehabilitation adherence, return to play, and overall outcomes. This includes, but is not limited to, verbal motivation, goal setting, imagery, pain management, self-talk, and/or relaxation.	Labs Quizzes Peer-checks	Semester Logs Exams Rehabilitation Project
TI-4	Students will analyze the impact of immobilization, inactivity, and mobilization on the body systems (e.g., cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal) and injury response.	Labs Quizzes	Exams
EBP-10 EBP-12 EBP-13 EBP-14 TI-7	Students will apply and interpret clinical outcomes to assess therapeutic intervention efficacy, patient status, progress toward goals, using psychometrically sound outcome instruments and develop a relevant clinical question (e.g., PICO, PIO, or CAT) based on desired outcome (patient-based or clinician-based) and available evidence (patient-oriented or disease-oriented).	Quizzes	Rehabilitation Project Exams Resources Project
TI-10	Students will assess a patient to identify indications, contraindications, and precautions applicable to the intended therapeutic intervention and design and implement a treatment program that integrates self-treatment, when appropriate, to meet specified treatment goals.	Labs Quizzes	Semester Logs Exams Resources Project Rehabilitation Project
CE-7 CE-21a	Students will assess and interpret findings from a physical examination (including posture, gait, and movement patterns) that is based on the patient’s clinical presentation to identify participation restrictions (disabilities), activity limitations (functional limitations), and overall impact of the condition on the patient’s life and goals.	Labs Quizzes Peer-checks	Semester Logs Rehabilitation Project Resources Project
TI-5 TI-8	Students will describe and differentiate between the physiological and pathophysiological responses to inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions and their influence on the design, implementation, and progression of a therapeutic intervention across the lifespan.	Quizzes	Semester Logs Exams Rehabilitation  Project
TI-6	Students will describe common surgical techniques, interpret operative reports, and identify any resulting precautions, contraindications, and comorbidities that impact the selection and progression of a therapeutic intervention program.	Quizzes	Rehabilitation Project Exams
PS-1 PS-2 PS-3	Students will describe the basic principles of personality traits, trait anxiety, locus of control, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, stress response, confidence, and patient and social environment interactions as they affect patient interactions, clinical decision making, and eventual return to activity/participation for injuries or forced inactivity.	Quizzes	Exams
CE-4 CE-5	Students will describe the principles of osteokinematics and arthrokinematics and their influence on body movement and assess a patient’s function for pathomechanical motion.	Labs Peer-checks	Semester Logs Exams
TI-14 TI-15	Students will describe the relationship between therapeutic modality use, active and passive exercise, and/or manual therapies (massage, myofascial techniques, muscle energy techniques, joint mobilization, traction, etc.) in pain reduction and the restoration of joint mobility/flexibility and perform those techniques as indicated by physical examination findings.	Labs Quizzes Peer-checks	Semester Logs Exams Rehabilitation Project Resources Project
CE-14	Students will differentiate between an initial injury evaluation and follow-up/reassessment as a means to evaluate the efficacy of the patient’s treatment/rehabilitation program, and make modifications to the patient’s program as needed.	Labs Quizzes	Semester Logs Rehabilitation  Project
PHP-19 TI-17 TI-18	Students will evaluate a patient’s gait, posture, biomechanics, and use of ergodynamics and instruct them to make corrections/modifications to meet outcome goals or prevent illness or injury.	Labs Quizzes Peer-checks	Semester Logs Rehabilitation Project Exams
PS-10	Students will explain the impact of sociocultural issues that influence the nature and quality of healthcare received (e.g., cultural competence, access to appropriate healthcare providers, uninsured/underinsured patients, insurance) and formulate and implement strategies to maximize client/patient outcomes.	Quizzes	Resources Project Rehabilitation Project Exams
CE-8 CE-9 EBP-11	Students will explain the theoretical foundation of clinical outcomes assessment (e.g., disablement, health-related quality of life) and describe common methods of outcomes assessment in athletic training clinical practice (generic, disease-specific, region-specific, and dimension-specific outcomes instruments).	Quizzes	Exams Resources Project
TI-11d	Students will instruct the patient how to correctly perform rehabilitative exercises.	Labs Peer-checks	Semester Logs Resource Project
AC-43	Students will Instruct the patient in home care and self-treatment plans for acute conditions.	Labs Peer-checks	Semester Logs
PS-7 PS-8 PS-9	Students will select and integrate appropriate psychosocial techniques into a patient’s treatment, pain management, or rehabilitation program to enhance adherence, return to play, and overall outcomes. This includes, but is not limited to:  motivation, goal setting, imagery, anxiety reduction, positive self-talk, and/or relaxation.	Labs Quizzes Peer-checks	Semester Logs Rehabilitation  Project Exams
PS-18 PS-4 PS-5 PS-6	Students will summarize and demonstrate effective interpersonal and cross-cultural communication and educational intervention strategies for patients and others involved in their healthcare to effect positive behavioral change and impact the patient’s psychological and emotional well-being while protecting their privacy.
