Course Description Sports Medicine is the third course in the Therapeutic Services/Sports Medicine Career Pathway. The course is appropriate for students who wish to pursue a career in healthcare with a focus on the musculoskeletal system, injury assessment, injury prevention, or rehabilitation including careers in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitative Services. This course will enable students to receive initial exposure to therapeutic services skills and attitudes applicable to the healthcare industry. The concepts of anatomy and physiology, assessment, preventative and rehabilitative care are introduced. Fundamental healthcare skills development is initiated, including medical terminology, kinesiology, patient assessment, record keeping, and basic life support. The prerequisites for this course are Introduction to Healthcare and Essentials of Healthcare. Mastery of these standards through project-based learning, technical-skills practice, and leadership-development activities of the career and technical student organization, HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America), will provide students with a competitive edge for entry into either the healthcare global marketplace or a post- secondary institution to pursue further education and training.

Articles must be approved by Teacher.

HOSA is a co-curricular student organization, which means that HOSA is integrated into the class. All students will receive a grade for HOSA participation (Professionalism).
