HLSC 4494U – Extended Athletic Therapy Internship I


The purpose of this course is to provide the student with practical experience in the athletic therapy field. Students will be provided with advanced first aid and athletic therapy training before being placed with a varsity team as a student therapist. Students will complete a minimum of 160 hours in a single semester in their placement position and be required to complete an academic component such as a series of article reviews on topics relevant to their team placement and the types of injuries commonly seen in that sport or compilation of research data related to their sport. There is also a component of knowledge synthesis where students keep a journal where they record observations of how knowledge gained from their undergraduate courses is applied in the internship placement, and how the placement helped them to integrate that knowledge for their own learning.
