As part of a semester long project in Clinical Practicum VI, ATC 441, fourth year athletic training students are designing rehabilitation and fitness programs for their partners. Course instructor, Dr. Allan Liggett designed this challenge in order to provide students with the experience of taking a patient from setting realistic goals though the design and completion of a workable plan.
Students meet at HealthTracks weekly to go through their program with their partner. Allan states “in addition to designing rehabilitation and fitness programs, the semester long project also assesses other clinical proficiencies such as psychosocial, communication, and billing/administrative activities”.
