AT 43600 Pathology of Non-Orthopedic Injuries & Illnesses Lab
This course is designed to provide the students with the necessary skills to conduct a thorough general medical examination. Focus will be placed on collecting an adequate history, understanding the need for specific observations, performing necessary palpations, and properly utilizing diagnostic tools such as an otoscope, ophthalmoscope, stethoscope, blood glucose meters, peak flow meters, urinalysis strips, reflex hammers, and various other pieces of equipment. Students will research other types of diagnostic testing not typically performed within the athletic training environment such as various types of radiology, tissue samples, cultures, blood tests, and endoscopic tools and will understand conditions in which these tests may be indicated. Students will also be exposed to mock practicals to evaluate their skills on developing a differential diagnosis. This course is taken in conjunction with AT 43300. Lab fee required.
