Athletic Training Case Scenarios: Expert Advice for Real-Life Situations

As athletic trainers, responding to unique cases is a daily challenge. However, by exploring various scenarios, they can prepare for almost any situation. Case studies are the most effective way to gain this knowledge, but often, they come in the form of informal anecdotes or focus on very specific subjects. This is where Athletic Training Case Scenarios: Domain-Based Situations and Solutions comes in, filling the gap by providing a comprehensive collection of studies covering all five domains of athletic training.

Expert Insights from Seasoned Professionals

Keith M. Gorse, Francis Feld, and Robert O. Blanc have gathered real-life scenarios from certified athletic trainers who have worked in industrial settings, high schools, colleges, professional teams, and sports medicine clinics. These scenarios offer expert advice on the best response to many possible situations, providing readers with a unique opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills.

A Structured Approach to Critical Thinking

Each scenario is presented in a structured format, featuring the actual case as it was initially assessed by the athletic trainer. This allows readers to use their own judgment, encourage open dialogue, and decide on the best course of action before reviewing the original athletic trainer’s response and recommendations.

Comprehensive Coverage of All Five Domains

The book is organized by domain, making it easy for readers to find examples of any case they can imagine. With over a dozen scenarios in each domain, including prevention, evaluation and diagnosis, emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation, and organizational and professional health, readers will gain a broad knowledge base to respond to any situation they may encounter.

Athletic training students and clinicians will appreciate the wide range of cases presented in Athletic Training Case Scenarios: Domain-Based Situations and Solutions, providing them with the strong foundation they need to excel in their profession.
