Dr. V - Sports Med I & II

Sports Medicine I is designed for students interested in fields such as athletic training, physical therapy, medicine, chiropractic, fitness, exercise physiology, kinesiology, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and other sports medicine related fields.  This class will examine the personal qualities necessary for a successful career in these fields and we will explore the various types of work settings available.  Basic first aid and CPR will be addressed with particular attention to cardiac and heat related emergencies.  The bulk of the semester will be focused on expanding the student’s knowledge and understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy and the more common athletic injuries.  There will be ample hands-on activity when we cover evaluation and taping techniques.  For those students who are interested, opportunities will be available for ‘on-the-job training’ as student trainers for Berry Cardinal athletic teams.
