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 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.
