Student Learning Outcomes

Code:	Learning Outcomes:	How students will practice each outcome:	How student achievement of each outcome is assessed:
EBP-10 EBP-12 EBP-13 EBP-14	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).	Article Analyses Forums Practice Exam	SWOT Brochure PSA Presentation
EBP-1 EBP-2	Students will define evidence-based practice as it relates to athletic training clinical practice and explain the role of evidence in the decision-making process.	Article Analyses Forums	SWOT Presentation
EBP-6 EBP-7	Students will describe and contrast research and literature resources including databases, online critical appraisal libraries, and other resources and conduct relevant searches to answer a specific clinical question.	Article Analyses Forums	SWOT Presentation
EBP-3 EBP-4 EBP-5	Students will describe and differentiate the types of quantitative and qualitative research, research components, and levels of research evidence and use a systematic approach to create and answer a clinical question through review and application of existing research.	Article Analyses Forums	SWOT Presentation
PHP-1 PHP-4	Students will describe the concepts (case definitions, incidence versus prevalence, exposure assessment, rates) and uses of injury and illness surveillance and outcome measures relevant to athletic training and use the resulting data to assess an injury/illness prevention strategy.	Article Analyses Forums Practice Exam	SWOT Brochure PSA Presentation
EBP-8	Students will describe the differences between narrative reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.	Article Analyses Forums	SWOT Presentation
PD-10	Students will develop educational healthcare programming specific to a target audience that uses appropriate multimedia tools to create a professional product.	Forums	Brochure PSA Presentation
CE-10  PHP-2	Students will explain and calculate diagnostic accuracy concepts including reliability, sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, prediction values, and pre-test and post-test probabilities for selecting and interpreting physical examination and diagnostic procedures.	Article Analyses Forums Practice Exam	SWOT Presentation
CE-11	Students will explain the creation of clinical prediction rules and apply them in the diagnosis and prognosis of various clinical conditions.	Article Analyses Forums Practice Exam	SWOT Presentation
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).	Article Analyses Forums Practice Exam	SWOT Presentation
PD-11	Students will identify and implement strategies to educate colleagues, students, patients, the public, and other healthcare professionals about the roles, responsibilities, academic preparation, and scope of practice of athletic trainers.	Forums	SWOT Brochure PSA Presentation
EBP-9	Students will use standard criteria or developed scales (PEDro, CAT) to critically appraise the structure, rigor, and overall quality of research studies.	Article Analyses Forums	SWOT Brochure PSA Presentation
