Human Anatomy/Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine is an introduction to the practical side of anatomy and the careers in the field of allied health care. It is a rigorous course which will demand your attention during class as well as your time outside of class. The central focus of this course is basic anatomy, anatomical terminology and basic hands on skills related to sports injuries, as the body is studied regionally (ankle, foot, knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand). Selected sports medicine related topics will also b e explored. Successful completion of first aid, CPR (adult, child, infant) and AED will earn Red Cross certification. A grade of "B" or better in both semesters of Sports Medicine will allow students to earn 3 hours of credit at SPSCC in Medical Terminology.


Grading:
Final grades will be determined through performance on unit tests, class assignments, quizzes, professionalism, clinic/training room hours, training room competencies, and clinic/training room projects.

A   94-100%             B+   87-89%            C+    77-79%           D+    68-69%
A-   90-93%              B    84-86%             C      74-76%           D      65-68%
                                B-    80-83%            C-      70-73%          F       0-64%

Sports Medicine is a preprofessinal course. Students are expected to display professional behaviors consistent with the clinic environment. Up to 10% of a unit grade will be determined by attendance, behavior, and participation. Cheating, absenteeism, classroom disruptions, disrespect for others will negatively impact Professionalism points.

Assignments, tests, and quizzes must be complete and on time in order to be considered for full credit.

Assignments, tests, and quizzes missed due to excused absences should be made up in a timely manner. Generally you have as many days as you were absent to make up for a missed assignment. Tests and quizzes should be made up before or after school within 1-2 days of your return. Participation points may be made up by participating in extra training room or clinic hours.

Assignments, tests, and quizzes missed due to unexcused absences cannot be made up.

15 hours of clinic/training room experience are required per semester. Submit your plan by the end of September.

Sports Medicine is a dynamically developing course. There could be modifications to the above as opportunities arise. Each development will be handled individually as issues arise.
