Clerkship
Kalamazoo Sec 003
This clerkship is designed to complement the beginning didactic courses in sports medicine, entitled, “Introduction to Sports Medicine.” The introductory course is taught to beginning medical students or graduate level students and is meant as an introduction to the multiple concepts of sports medicine. The Sports Medicine Clerkship is meant to be the clinical follow-up to the initial introductory courses. This introductory course is taught in the College of Osteopathic Medicine the first and second year of medical school.
Keeping in mind the same curricular content outlined for the introductory sports medicine courses, the Sports Medicine Clerkship is meant to be the clinical outgrowth of the concepts and precepts taught in these courses. The experience will concentrate on the primary care aspects of sports medicine, involving contact with an estimated two to three hundred acute and chronic sports injuries.
The medical student will have an opportunity of dealing with acute injuries first-hand and will gain experience in training of the athlete, emergency care and transportation of the athlete, and finally definitive diagnostic procedures to be used. The experience will involve not only office care of the athlete, but also coverage of various sporting events on Kalamazoo campus and local high schools, community programs as well as informal teaching sessions with the athletic trainer, physical therapist, and consultants in sports medicine. It will be expected, at least several times during the course of the student’s experience, that he/she will travel through the “educational pathway” with an acute injury evaluation and then follow-up care. It is expected that the student will gain knowledge not only in the clinical aspects of sports medicine, but also the philosophy of sports medical care and the basic science of sports medicine in the area of preventive sports medicine.
