Introduction
My name is Sarah Ehrsam. I am a certified athletic trainer and work full-time for the College as an athletic trainer. I also teach some of the classes offered in our Sports Medicine degree. My office is located in the East PE building in room 003.
Course Description
This class provides instruction and clinical experience for students interested in sports-related injury care and rehabilitation. Includes injury assessment and diagnosis, therapeutic modality usage and selection, and rehabilitation of sports injuries.
What to Expect in this Course
You are responsible for all material posted on our class Canvas page and all relevant class information can be found there. You will have access to the class page on the first Monday of the semester. All assignments (worksheets, discussion boards, examinations, projects, etc) will be made available on our class Canvas page. All due dates along with assignment instructions will also be clearly posted. All assignments MUST be submitted via Canvas unless otherwise noted. No exams will require proctoring. Success in this course is dependent on the following things:
- Self-motivation: Self-motivation, discipline, and appropriate time management skills are critical to both getting the most out of this class and exceling in the hybrid/online format. Please log in to Canvas every Monday morning and then a minimum of 2 other times throughout the week to ensure you are aware of all upcoming due dates for assignments, projects, discussion boards and exams. Do not wait until the last minute to complete and submit assignments.
- Dedicated Time: Expect to spend approximately 5-7 hours each week watching lectures and completing weekly assignments.
- Internet access: Most of the assignments can be downloaded so they can be completed without internet access, but regular access to a reliable computer with stable, high-speed internet connection is critical. This can be either a personal computer, a computer in the COC library or in the TLC, or at a public library computer.
- Word-processing Program: Canvas does not currently support MAC Pages, so you will either need to convert your Pages document to a PDF OR you can download the Microsoft Office Suite for FREE as part of your school My Canyons account (my.canyons.edu)
- Be an active learner/participant: Sports Medicine is a fun and fast-paced profession that offers lots of learning opportunities. I encourage you to take advantage of each and every one!
Types of Assessments
Worksheets, quizzes, a group project, discussion boards, demonstration of clinical lab skills, weekly reflections, and exams will all be used to assess the student's understanding of the course material and mastery of the subject.
Textbook Information
No textbook is required for this class. NASM’s Essentials of Corrective Exercise is a recommended for this class as it can be beneficial, but it is not required.
Other Relevant Course Information
I am looking forward to a great semester of increasing your knowledge and clinical skills!
