Sports Medicine


Sports Medicine is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries related to physical activity. It combines medical knowledge with an understanding of biomechanics and exercise physiology to help athletes stay healthy and perform at their best. Sports Medicine professionals provide comprehensive care for athletes of all ages and abilities, from recreational to professional levels.

The Sports Medicine program introduces students to the roles of various disciplines within sports medicine and rehabilitation sciences as well as other allied health professions. Students will be introduced to the analysis of human movement based on anatomical and mechanical principles. Emphasis is placed on the anatomy and physiology of the muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems and their interaction in human movement and athletic performance. They will also learn signs and symptoms of injuries, illnesses, and disorders commonly seen in the physically active population. Students will develop skills in injury prevention, injury and illness assessment, and using appropriate terminology and medical documentation to record injury and illness.
