The students must be able to critically think and discern what is going on with an injured or ill athlete. The students have numerous classes teaching them foundational knowledge like the signs and symptoms of injuries, mechanisms of injuries, and treatments for injuries. When athletic trainers are presented with a situation, they must utilize all of their clinical knowledge regarding proper prevention, recognition, and rehabilitation management. Recently, the athletic training Board of Certification (BOC) has incorporated scenarios with corresponding questions on the certification exam in order to test students' ability to synthesize the foundational knowledge they have learned and to test the students' ability to apply this knowledge to real clinical scenarios. When an athlete is injured or sick, the athletic training student must be able to collect all of the necessary information, evaluate the problem, and deduce the assessment or diagnosis. This clinical reasoning skill is a difficult task for many athletic training students to master. The students may know the information, but they have difficulty putting it all together to gain a conclusion and thus a treatment plan. SN - PB - F. A.
