AB In  athletic  training  education,  students  must  have  a  clinical  education  component  where  the  knowledge  and  application  of  educational  domains  are  integrated  into  real  life  situations.  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.
