Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. explain the physiological response of tissues to trauma and the mechanisms by which therapeutic modalities influence healing and pain modulation.

3. demonstrate safe, ethical, and legally compliant use of therapeutic agents, devices, and interventions within the athletic training scope of practice databases, medical classification systems (ICD, CPT), and data privacy standards to support evidenced-based decision making.
