Summary

"This is a comprehensive emergency trauma management text specifically for athletic trainers and athletic training students that addresses the cognitive and psychomotor skills taught in traditional first aid courses (community first aid, first responder, emergency medical technician, and professional rescuer CPR) and discusses specific athletic training emergency trauma skills outlined in the educational competencies set by the Board of Certification (BOC). It is a resource to help readers develop concepts and instruction on current techniques used in the recognition and management of athletic trauma identified in the NATA Educational Competencies. Within each chapter there will be a mix of cognitive knowledge addressing theory and demonstration of the psychomotor skill. Each chapter is designed to account for multiple learning styles, incorporating didactic, visual, and kinesthetic learning where appropriate"--Provided by publisher.
