Special Topics in Sports Medicine Video Lectures

Explore special topics in sports medicine with leading experts.

Special Topics in Sports Medicine Video Lectures offers students and professors an opportunity to explore a variety of important health care topics. With these prerecorded lectures, instructors can pick and choose lectures to supplement their seminar. Featuring globally recognized experts, such as Tom Abdenour, each lecture explores a niche subject or emerging topic that is often underrepresented in traditional curricula. With topics such as innovative rehabilitation techniques, culturally responsive care, and cutting-edge research applications, this series bridges the gap between classroom learning and the evolving demands of professional practice.

In order to maximize class time, students can watch the lecture video prior to the class session. Class time can then be used for practical application of the video concepts. The video lecture library includes learning objectives and a list of references. Lecture videos are accompanied by online resources to help test student comprehension and support learning. These resources include the following:

• Comprehension quizzes: At the end of most lecture videos, students will complete a 10-question quiz to help guide them in their takeaways from the lecture.
• In-class activities or assignments: Each video comes with a set of in-class activities or assignments that reinforce key concepts, encourage peer discussion, and simulate real-world scenarios that athletic trainers may encounter in diverse clinical settings.
• Athletic Training Clinical Resource Guide: Students can review essential information for health care practitioners, including normal lab values, vital sign norms, ICD 10 and CPT code lists, and approved medical abbreviations.

Instructors will gain access to a midterm and final exam that simulate the Board of Certification (BOC) exam required to become a certified athletic trainer. Instructors can assign these either as practice or as part of the course.

With Special Topics in Sports Medicine Video Lectures, instructors can expand their students’ exposure to global perspectives and specialized knowledge areas. By engaging with experts across disciplines and geographies, learners gain insights that prepare them to lead, adapt, and innovate in a dynamic health care environment.
