Event Details
This course discusses the role of athletic training within the current healthcare system and the important role of practice-based research to improve the effectiveness of healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. At the point-of-care, clinicians can utilize the patient-oriented assessment model to gather data to aid in clinical decision-making and for supporting comparative effectiveness of athletic training services. Working collaboratively to engage in comparative effectiveness efforts can improve patient outcomes, and add to the body of evidence, specific to the athletic training profession.
This course aims to cover the following objectives, which will be presented in three individual online modules:
1. Describe the important role of practice-based research to improve patient care
2. Describe the practice-based research network model as a means for conducting point-of-care research to evaluate the end results of athletic training services
3. Discuss the roles of the researcher and clinician in practice-based partnerships
4. Highlight the requisite knowledge and skills for clinicians to engage in practice-based research

more
Event Details
While the role of HIT and healthcare informatics in assisting in fundamental tasks of evidence-based practice (e.g., searching the literature and managing knowledge) is well-recognized in athletic training, more advanced utilization of HIT and healthcare informatics is not as prominent. Despite the importance of the HIT and healthcare informatics, athletic trainers may lack the appropriate knowledge and strategies to effectively implement the use of HIT and healthcare informatics during routine clinical practice. Therefore, the purpose of this 2-hour module is to introduce the concepts associated with more advanced usage of HIT and healthcare informatics in athletic training clinical practice.
This course aims to cover the following objectives, which will be presented in four individual online modules:
1. Discuss current healthcare information technologies (HIT) and healthcare informatics initiatives within the global healthcare system and the athletic training profession
2. Describe common HIT that can be utilized to enhance patient care including the Internet, electronic health records, mobile devices, and social media platforms
3. Describe the role of HIT and healthcare informatics in facilitating evidence-based, patient-centered care, and quality improvement
Explain the data-to-wisdom continuum framework within the context of informatics and how the framework can be applied to patient care and quality improvement
4. Discuss legal (eg, patient privacy) and professional (eg, maintaining professionalism in an online environment) considerations related to the use of HIT and healthcare informatics for patient care
Please note that following the four modules, you will be asked to answer 10 knowledge questions about the content presented in the modules. Additionally, be sure to view each module in its entirety. It is recommended to take notes as you will not be permitted to return to a module once you have proceeded forward.

Although many athletic trainers use clinical practice guidelines, position statements, and consensus statements to identify best practices for the management of various illnesses and injuries, fewer understand the differences between these types of documents and the development process for these documents. This course aims to differentiate between clinical practice guidelines, position statements, and consensus statements and describe the process of how these documents are develop. Using the published documents regarding sport-related concussion, examples between the similarities and differences in recommendations made among these documents will be illustrated. Specifically, focus will be on similarities and differences in diagnosis, prevention, assessment, management, and the use of neurocognitive testing. A discussion of the historical changes in recommendations from Vienna and the 2004 NATA statement through the 2014 NATA statement and the recently released Berlin consensus statement will also be included.
This course aims to cover the following objectives, which will be presented in four individual online modules:
- Describe the development process for clinical practice guidelines
- Differentiate between types of clinical practice guidelines
- Discuss the process used to develop the Berlin concussion consensus statement
- Identify best practices according to the Berlin concussion consensus statement
- Compare recommendations from various statements and guidelines for use in clinical practice
According to the education levels described by the PDC, this continuing education course is considered to be Advanced Level, and is appropriate for all athletic trainers.

Although most athletic trainers deal with patients who are in pain, very few clinicians understand the complexity of pain perception and the individuality by which it presents itself from patient to patient. Often, patients of the same gender, around the same age, with the same diagnosis, present very differently when it comes to the amount of pain they are experiencing. This presents a difficult scenario for the athletic trainer, who may be utilizing past clinical experience to manage a current patient. Truly understanding the biopsychosocial aspects of pain and understanding the most recent literature on pain sciences will be helpful to the clinical athletic trainer, who is often tasked with helping a patient simply “feel better”. Pain affects movement, so athletic trainers who are attempting to change an athletes’ movement patterns first must address the pain perception that can be altering the movement patterns. Proper modality selection and counseling is a must in order for the athletic trainer to be effective in the field of pain management.
Pain is a multifactorial experience and should be addressed via a comprehensive biopsychosocial intervention model. Pain and nociceptive stimulation do not go hand in hand, meaning pain can be present in the absence of nociceptive stimulation. Therefore, the clinician needs to understand not only the physical neurology of the sensation of pain, but the emotional, psychological, social, and personal experiences that factor into the creation of pain perception. With this comprehensive understanding, the clinician should be able to select an appropriate intervention to modulate pain based on the needs of the individual patient
This course aims to cover the following objectives, which will be presented in five individual online modules:
- Appreciate that pain is a multi-factorial experience, and should be treated via a multi-factorial approach including physical, emotional and biopsychosocial considerations
- Identify different pain theories and the basic neurology underlying the sensation of pain
- Understand how pain may affect normal movement patterns
- Implement different modalities to address pain and improve movement
- Understand the effects of different modalities on pain modulation and describe the mechanism of action for these modalities
