Advanced Sports Med - ChGonzalez

The Advanced Sports Medicine curriculum of the Peoria Unified School District is designed to give an in depth look at the medical field as it applies to the athletics and the general population. Students will build on the information they gained from the Introduction to Sports Medicine course and investigate additional aspects of sports medicine.  They will continue to study the basic concepts of evaluation and treatment of common sports related injuries and conditions while learning basic rehabilitation concepts and techniques currently used in the field. Anatomy review, medical terminology, ethical and legal considerations, fitness, wellness, first aid & CPR training will also be addressed. Students will gain hands-on experience through various lab activities including splinting, evaluation techniques, fitness & wellness testing, modality set-up, and rehabilitation techniques. Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) standards will be an integral part of this class. Dual credit may be obtained from the Maricopa Community College system for this program at high schools offering this option. Successful completion of the program may qualify students to receive the Mastery of Subject Area Graduation Endorsement. Students are encouraged to work with their program teachers to determine eligibility.
