Student Learning Outcomes

Outcome (CAATE/CHES/NSCA)

1. Students will practice in collaboration with other health care and wellness professionals and use standard techniques and procedures to complete clinical examinations, interpret their findings, and determine when referral is necessary. (61a)
2. Students will practice health care in a manner compliant with BOC Standards of Professional Practice and applicable institutional, local, state, and federal laws, regulations, and guidelines, including: 1) the use of universal precautions and disinfectant procedures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases; and 2) exposure control planning and reporting procedures. (66b)
3. Students will perform a self-assessment of professional competence and create professional development plans according to personal and professional goals and requirements to maintain necessary credentials and promote life-long learning strategies. (67)
4. Students will demonstrate the ability to modify standard diagnostic examination procedures to clinically evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions according to the demands of the situation and the patient's ability to respond, and interpret those results to determine when referral is necessary. (70)
5. Students will evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions, including triaging those that are life threatening or otherwise emergent, including: cardiac compromise (ECC, supplemental oxygen, suction, adjunct airways, nitroglycerine, and low dose aspirin) with and without suspected spine injury and/or protective equipment. (70a)
6. Students will evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions, including triaging those that are life threatening or otherwise emergent, including: respiratory compromise (pulse oximetry, adjunct airways, suction, supplemental oxygen, spirometry, metered-dose inhalers, nebulizers, and bronchodilators) with and without suspected spine injury and/or protective equipment. (70b)
7. Students will evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions, including triaging those that are life threatening or otherwise emergent, including: environmental conditions (lightning, heat, cold, rectal thermometry) with and without suspected spine injury and/or protective equipment. (70c)
8. Students will evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions, including triaging those that are life threatening or otherwise emergent, including: cervical spine compromise (stabilization and transportation techniques, equipment removal considerations and methods). (70d)
9. Students will evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions, including triaging those that are life threatening or otherwise emergent, including: internal and external hemorrhage (tourniquet and hemostatic agent use, hypovolemic shock) with and without suspected spine injury and/or protective equipment. (70f)
10. Students will evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions, including triaging those that are life threatening or otherwise emergent, including: fractures and dislocations (including reductions) with and without suspected spine injury and/or protective equipment. (70g)
11. Students will evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions, including triaging those that are life threatening or otherwise emergent, including: wounds (including care and closure) with and without suspected spine injury and/or protective equipment. (70l)
12. Students will evaluate and manage patients with acute conditions, including triaging those that are life threatening or otherwise emergent, including: other musculoskeletal injury with and without suspected spine injury and/or protective equipment. (70n)
13. Students will perform an initial, follow-up, or modified evaluation appropriate for the circumstances and patient's ability to respond to formulate a differential diagnosis, plan of care, and return to play criteria that includes identifying comorbidities and complex medical conditions. (71b)
