Welcome HES Majors!

Welcome

HES Majors!

“Too many people confine their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running up bills, stretching the truth, bending over backward, lying down on the job,

sidestepping responsibility and pushing their luck.” Author Unknown

The Health Science Major The Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science is enhanced by a broad liberal arts and sciences background in English, mathematics, biological and physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities, together with the specialized courses that comprise the depth of the Health Science major. The Health Science curriculum is designed to prepare students to promote health in educational or clinical settings in school, community, or public health environments. The undergraduate degree provides training for entry-level positions in municipal, county, state and national health departments, voluntary health agencies and HMO's (health maintenance organizations), as well as the curricular background necessary for graduate work in public health, health administration, occupational therapy, medicine, or physician assistant (PA) programs. The major requires a four-credit, 200-hour summer internship, in which students gain important practical experience directly related to their career interests. One of the unique features of the Truman Health Science undergraduate experience is the opportunity to actively engage in research. A significant number of Health Science majors present their findings at international, national, state or local professional conferences, and/or publish their work nationally. Another unique feature of the Health Science program is its focus on accountability. In addition to the comprehensive testing program of the University, all required Health Science courses incorporate pre/post testing to determine achievement of educational objectives. The Health Science graduate will also demonstrate a high level of health knowledge as well as skills based on the Seven Responsibilities of a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES), as assessed by a senior exit examination. Health Science faculty and the University have selected and approved the CHES examination as the measure of this competency. This feature affords our students to obtain validation of their education through a nationally recognized examination in their specialized field of study. Truman is among only a handful of institutions in the country to provide this opportunity for their Health Science graduates. Outcome Statements for the Health Science Major

Why Choose Health Science / Pre-Professional Programs?

Pre-Medicine (MD/DO/Dentistry): A holistic health orientation with a focus on disease prevention and health promotion:

o Baby-boomers are aging and demand ‘wellness’ and health promotion information from their physicians o As a CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist), you can plan, implement, and evaluate a lifestyle

behavior change plan to reduce a patient’s personal risk factors for disease and injury o You study chronic and communicable disease prevention in courses such as: medical school cadaver

Anatomy and Lab Pathophysiology, Microbiology, Human Physiology o Preventive medicine and a prevention orientation is the newest trend in health care and medical research

A strong background in Health Science is a viable option for those interested in:

o Family practice/general practitioner o Preventive medicine o Pediatrics o Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) o Rural medicine o Public health dentistry o Local Health Officer

Pre-Physician Assistant (PA): Physicians spend only about 11 minutes/office visit with patients today due to managed care practices:

o Therefore, patients need more health education and health counseling about diagnosis, treatment, and management of their diseases

o A Physician Assistant with a CHES background is specifically trained to “do health education” and “do health counseling”

o The CHES can also work with healthy patients on lifestyle modification, health behavior change programs, and health maintenance programs

o Settings: Family practice, preventive medicine, pediatrics Pre-Occupational Therapy (OT-C): Coursework includes Human Anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics, physics, exercise physiology

o As a CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist), you can plan, implement, and evaluate a lifestyle behavior change plan to reduce a patient’s personal risk factors for further injury and trauma

o As a CHES, you are committed to prevention of injury as well as home and occupational safety

Health Science Pattern Descriptions To provide the opportunity for students to explore and develop more specialized interests, the Health Science curriculum allows the selection of one career pattern ranging from 17-18 hours. Courses comprising the program patterns are based upon the recommendations of faculty members whose expertise is identified with these specialties. Individualized patterns may also be designed to meet personal goals. A list of specific courses required for each pattern may be obtained from the Health and Exercise Sciences program office or online at http://hes.truman.edu. * Community Health/Public Health/Worksite Health (18 hours)

Community Health The Community Health Educator may be employed as a disease prevention/health promotion specialist in voluntary agencies (American Red Cross, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, women’s health clinics, etc.), local agencies (private companies, HMO’s, PPO’s, hospitals, etc.), county or state agencies (health departments), or federal agencies (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health, etc.) The specific job may be a one-on-one approach (HIV/AIDS Educator) or it may involve an entire state, as in the case of coalition building. Leadership, ability to work independently, health knowledge, and access to a health resource library are the principle ingredients that make up the Community Health Educator. It is likely that a person in this position would be responsible for writing grant proposals or pursuing alternative sources of funding, especially when employed with voluntary agencies. In addition, the community health educator may have some research and writing responsibilities. Therefore, this individual should have excellent written and oral communication skills. The expectation of most employers is to minimize or prevent illness and injury through the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of quality health education/health promotion programs.

Public Health The Public Health Specialist is interested in research and an epidemiological approach to controlling

and educating communities about chronic and communicable diseases. It is expected that most students who desire to work in a public health setting will continue their education and earn a Masters in Public Health (MPH) program. However, there are several positions that might be considered by an individual with a Public Health emphasis at the Bachelors level. Local, state and federal agencies interested in collecting and compiling health data are continually looking for qualified individuals to function in entry-level positions. With the completion of an MPH, the graduate will be qualified for many upper-level research and management positions in Public Health. The U.S. Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state and local health departments, and universities all seek candidates with this credential. Specific employment opportunities include teaching, research, data collection, and data analysis. Public Health requires a strong background in the sciences, statistics, health sciences, and social sciences. Employer expectations of graduates are to educate, identify, recommend, and promote quality health care in the defined area of employment.

Worksite Health The Worksite Health Educator/Health Promotion Specialist may be employed by a contractor,

business, company, corporation, or federal agency. The environment for the Worksite Health Educator/Health Promotion Specialist is, to a large extent, contained within the facility of hire. However, this may involve many community outreach programs and collaboration with health personnel outside of the facility. The job of the Worksite Health Educator/Health Promotion Specialist is to reduce the cost of company health expenses, absenteeism, and overtime through assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of illness and injury prevention programs for employees. With these expectations, the graduate must have a wide background in the sciences, health content areas, social sciences, and exercise programming. Therefore, the Worksite Health Educator/Health Promotion Specialist must have expertise in health content, exercise science, and program planning. They are expected to work independently and in a professional manner. The opportunities in this field have been steadily growing over the past decade and vary significantly from business to business. For example, some companies expect the health educator to emphasize fitness programs while others expect a total commitment to health content and employees’ skill development. However, there are many opportunities found in-between these two extremes. * Health Administration (18 hours) The individual interested in Health Administration must be able to effectively serve as a supervisor or leader, while also answering to the organization or governing body of the particular health facility or voluntary health agency. Managers and supervisors in health administration positions may be called upon any time of the day to solve problems. Therefore the individual must be willing to be responsible for a facility that remains open 24 hours per day/7 days per week. This graduate will be prepared to manage a facility/organization/agency that employs a number of the community members from the higher socioeconomic groups (physicians, nurse managers, pharmacists, etc.) working as a team to provide care for the sick, injured, and debilitated. A variety of legal concerns come with the management of these facilities, rivaling any other form of management with regards to liability. The individual should be a highly motivated self-starter, able to resolve the daily management concerns associated with the health care industry. Additional qualities include an individual who stays in control under stress, one who possesses excellent communication skills, and has a good general knowledge of health facilities. Some of these qualities can be developed with time and education. Employment opportunities are found in voluntary agencies, long term care facilities, hospitals, non-for-profit organizations and state and federal agencies. Entry-level positions are typically found in personnel management, human resources or as an assistant administrator. To be successful, the graduate must have a solid background in human resources, legal aspects of health care, marketing, and


12

health services. Expectations of the employer are to hire an individual who can lead a health care organization in a competent and professional manner. Students must be accepted into the Business Administration minor before enrolling in any BSAD or ACCT course. A minor in Business Administration will be awarded to students who complete this pattern and satisfy all other requirements for the minor. Students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 to remain in this pattern. * Pre-Medical Sciences (17-18 Hours) The Pre-Medical Sciences pattern is designed for students preparing for a variety of careers in health-related fields. These pattern courses form a common core of classes for student interested in concentrations such as Pre-medicine, Pre-dental, Pre-optometry, Pre-Physician Assistant and Pre-nutrition. However, each student should understand the specific prerequisite courses for his or her desired field of study and specific graduate program upon graduation. The solid disease prevention and health promotion background provided by the Health Science major is excellent preparation for graduate or professional work in many health fields. Students interested in attending allopathic or osteopathic medical schools must prepare for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), an admission requirement for medical school. Students will need to take additional courses beyond the pattern in chemistry and physics to prepare for the MCAT. The same is true of students seeking admission to dental school, who must take the Dental Admission Test (DAT) or optometry school, who must take the Optometry Admissions Test (OAT). Students interested in an advanced degree program leading to certification as a Physician Assistant should plan to gain experience in a clinical setting throughout their college experience. Physician Assistant graduate programs vary in requirements for patient contact hours (ranging between 750 to 2000 hours) prior to admission. * Pre-Occupational Therapy (17-18 Hours) This pattern is designed to prepare a student for admission into a graduate program in Occupational Therapy. Through the required Health Science summer internship experience, students are required to complete a 200-hour clinical experience practicum. Course work includes human anatomy, courses in manual manipulation, kinesiology, and psychology. To be a viable candidate for admission to a graduate program in occupational therapy, a student should maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher. Graduate admission is generally granted to students with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Students following this pattern are specifically prepared for coursework necessary to fulfill the prerequisites of an articulation agreement currently in place with a top occupational therapy graduate program. More information can be obtained on-line at http://hes.truman.edu/articulation.asp. (SOAN 190 Sociological Inquiry must also be completed to fulfill Intercultural Perspective/Required Support. MATH 198 Analytic Geometry & Calculus I is strongly recommended to fulfill the Mathematical Mode of Inquiry/Required Support.) * Individualized (18 hours) The individualized pattern is designed to support the development of special health science areas not available from the normal selection (such as music or art therapy, or health psychology). This pattern must be relevant to the career goals of the student and must be one that would logically follow from the courses included with the major. This pattern is not a “catch-all” for courses taken that do not fit the published degree requirements. Individualized patterns must be submitted to the Program Director by the academic advisor for approval. The individualized pattern should be agreed upon early to facilitate course sequence planning.

Exercise Science


For more information refer to the Exercise Science Major web page: http://hes.truman.edu/es.asp

21

The Exercise Science Major The Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science is grounded in a strong Liberal Arts and Sciences foundation. Courses within the discipline are rooted in the basic sciences of physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology. Exercise Science majors engage in the study of all aspects of human movement including motor skill development and acquisition, movement production and efficiency, energy systems and metabolism, anatomical structures (cadaver anatomy lab), and psycho-sociological influences. Students also engage in the advanced study of a selected concentration area (pattern) in sports management, human movement or allied health professions. The major requires a four-credit, 200-hour summer internship in which students apply classroom knowledge to real-world settings and gain important practical experience directly related to their career interests. Assessment is a core institutional value and is a substantive component of the Exercise Science Program. Faculty members evaluate teaching effectiveness through pre/post assessment and student evaluations. Many faculty employ additional modes of assessment to garner information regarding specific aspects of their courses or teaching style. The ACSM HFI (Health Fitness Instructor) became the official senior test of the Exercise Science major June 2007. This test will be implemented as the Exercise Science major senior test during the Spring 2008 semester or earlier, if possible. Until the implementation of the HFI, the senior test will be the CLA (College Learning Assessment. Specific pattern courses are designed to prepare students for certifying exams for the strength and conditioning specialist (NSCA) and exercise specialist (ACSM). The pre-medicine pattern also prepares students for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). A significant feature of the Exercise Science program is the use of scholarly research to facilitate learning. Students are provided numerous in-class opportunities to conduct research on a variety of self-selected topics. The program’s Human Performance Laboratory and Biomechanics/Motor Learning and Control Laboratory represent important resources for the facilitation of student research. Interested students are also provided substantial opportunity to conduct independent research under the guidance of faculty mentors. These projects are often presented at the local, state, and national levels and provide students with excellent opportunities for professional and personal growth. Outcome Statements of the Exercise Science Major The primary objective of the Exercise Science Program is to assist students in preparing themselves for success in graduate study or to be competent practitioners in the allied health or other human movement related professions. Graduates of the Exercise Science program should:

1. Gain experiences and training based on a Liberal Arts and Sciences background that supports specialized study in Exercise Science encompassing exercise physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, motor control, anatomy, physiology, psychology, sociology, injury prevention and care, management, and leadership

2. Develop the ability to assimilate, synthesize and apply information from multiple sources and disciplines

3. Become critical thinkers, consumers, and competent practitioners of research and statistical analysis

4. Analyze, assess, and learn human movement in a variety of developmentally appropriate levels and

contexts

5. Act as a resource person and recognize the mechanisms underlying behavior change and to facilitate the integration of positive behaviors in society

6. Demonstrate the skills to plan, implement, and evaluate effective exercise or health-related intervention

programs

7. Demonstrate knowledge of Exercise Science principles in laboratory and internship experiences


23

Major Requirements: The Exercise Science Major consists of the Liberal Studies Program (LSP) Requirements, discipline-related Required Support courses, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Requirements, Major Requirements, and Pattern Courses. The total minimum number of credit hours required for a B.S. Exercise Science degree is 124; however, the actual number of credits completed will depend on the LSP courses and pattern chosen. The Exercise Science degree worksheet is available in this handbook, online at http://hes.truman.edu or in the Health & Exercise Sciences Program Office, Pershing Building 212.

Exercise Science Pattern Descriptions To provide the opportunity for students to explore and develop more specialized interests, the Exercise Science curriculum allows the selection of one career pattern ranging from 20-36 hours. Courses comprising the program patterns are based upon the recommendations of faculty members whose expertise is identified with these specialties. Individualized patterns may also be designed to meet personal goals. A list of specific courses required for each pattern may be obtained from the Health and Exercise Sciences program office or online at http://hes.truman.edu. Biomechanics (20-24 Hours) The Biomechanics pattern is designed to prepare students for graduate school or an entry-level position in a biomechanics-related lab or personal training setting. Students in this pattern are interested in understanding anatomical and mechanical characteristics of human movement. Those completing this pattern will be prepared for analyzing the techniques of movement and have knowledge of how those processes relate to the movement product. Students within this pattern develop extensive knowledge of the muscular, kinematic, and kinetic nature of human movement, and use this information to analyze motion for the characteristics reflecting effective motion as well as those characteristics relating to injury risk. The pattern relies on a research-based approach to investigating biomechanical characteristics using commonly available tools including video-based motion analysis, electromyography, and force transduction. (Students must complete MATH 198 Analytic Geometry & Calculus I to fulfill the Mathematical Mode of Inquiry/Required Support. PHYS 195 Physics with Calculus I must be taken to fulfill the Physical Science Mode of Inquiry.) Exercise Physiology (24-26 Hours) The Exercise Physiology pattern is designed to prepare students for graduate school or an entry-level position in clinical exercise physiology. The pattern develops extensive knowledge of the body under the adaptive stress of exercise including the study of body composition, energy metabolism, cardiovascular function, muscular strength and development, neuromuscular integration, and thermal regulation. An emphasis is placed on development of a research-based approach to investigating physiological phenomena. Students who wish to enter clinical exercise physiology (cardiac rehabilitation) have the option to specialize their exercise physiology studies with advanced studies in biomechanics, cardiac pathophysiology, pharmacology, and behavior modification. (Students must complete CHEM 120 Chemical Principles II to fulfill the Physical Science Mode of Inquiry requirement.) Physical Education/Health/Coaching (34-35 Hours) Students who select this pattern are interested in teaching Physical Education, Health Education, and/or coaching within the public or private school system, grades K-12. By completing this pattern, students will fulfill all course requirements necessary to be eligible to apply for the Master of Arts in Education (M.A.E.) Program in Exercise Science leading to certification to teach Physical Education and/or Health Education in the public/private school system. Required coursework includes substance abuse prevention, human sexuality, mental and community health, school health programs, outdoor activities, gymnastics, physical activities/creative movement for children, adapted physical education, principles of coaching, and three foundational education courses. This pattern requires the student to complete specific coursework to fulfill LSP and certification requirements. (Because of the background required, it is strongly recommended that SOAN 190 Sociological Inquiry be taken for the Required Support/Intercultural Perspective requirement. Students must also take HIST 104 United States History I or HIST 105 United States History II to meet the Historical Mode of Inquiry, as well as POL 161 American National Government to meet the Missouri Statute requirement. Completion of ES 179 Outdoor Activities and ES 186 Outdoor Venture Activities to fulfill Exercise Science activity requirements in the major must also occur.) Please see the TEACHING CERTIFICATION section for more information on the M.A.E. Program. Pre-Medicine (33-36 Hours) The pre-medicine pattern is designed to prepare a student to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), which is required for admission to medical school. The pre-medicine pattern is viewed as a viable choice for those who are interested in the orthopedic/sports medicine aspect of physician care. The required courses in biomechanics, kinetics, exercise physiology, motor learning and exercise and sport psychology or sport sociology provide a solid foundation for the sports medicine/team physician. To be a viable candidate for admission to a graduate program in medicine, a student should maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher. (Students following this pattern are not required to complete the ES232/ ES435 Exercise Science major requirement. MATH 198 Analytic Geometry & Calculus I must be taken to fulfill the Mathematical Mode of Inquiry/Required Support. CHEM 120 Chemical Principles II must be taken to fulfill the Physical Science Mode of Inquiry requirement. ES 505 Advanced Biomechanical Analyses is strongly recommended for students interested in Orthopedics, but not required.) Pre-Physical Therapy (32-33 Hours) This pattern is designed to prepare the student for admission into a graduate-level program in physical therapy. Physical therapy is a health profession that applies scientific principles to correct and prevent problems in human movement. Physical therapists work to restore function and movement


28

through direct treatment, education, consultation, and management of rehabilitation resources. They examine, diagnose, and treat immediate problems, then teach clients how to take care of themselves by demonstrating exercises and how to use their bodies properly to gain strength and mobility and prevent recurring injury. Course work includes human anatomy, therapeutic modalities, as well as physics and psychology. To be a viable candidate for admission to a graduate program in physical therapy, a student should maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher. Students following this pattern are specifically prepared for coursework necessary to fulfill the prerequisites of articulation/cooperative education agreements currently in place with several top Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) programs. More information can be obtained on-line at http://hes.truman.edu/articulation.asp. (Students must complete CHEM 120 Chemical Principles II to fulfill the Physical Science Mode of Inquiry requirement. MATH 198 Analytic Geometry & Calculus I is strongly recommended to fulfill the Mathematical Mode of Inquiry/Required Support.) Pre-Physician Assistant (26-29 Hours) The Pre-Physician Assistant pattern is designed to prepare students for entry into an advanced degree program that would lead to certification as a Physician Assistant. Physician Assistant (PA) programs prepare the student to operate as a mid-level practitioner in family practice, preventive medicine, or orthopedic settings (sports medicine) under the supervision of a physician. In addition to course work in biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology, the student must plan to gain experience in a medical-related setting throughout the college experience. Physician Assistant graduate programs often require 2000+ hours of experience in health settings prior to admission. It is strongly advised that the student start to develop a related work dossier upon entry to the university to be able to complete the required hours for admission into graduate schools. To be a viable candidate for admission to a physician’s assistant graduate program, a student should maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher. (Students must complete CHEM 120 Chemical Principles II to fulfill the Physical Science Mode of Inquiry requirement.) Psycho-Social Aspect of Sport (28 Hours) The psycho-social aspect of sport pattern is designed to prepare students for entry into graduate training in sport and exercise psychology, sport sociology, or counseling. This pattern employs an interdisciplinary approach requiring courses from exercise science, psychology, and sociology based upon the Association for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology’s (AAASP) certification model. Students will explore, through coursework, the basic content areas of social and psychological theory and specific content areas of applied sport psychology. This coursework will lead to a minor in psychology. This pattern prepares students to enter into graduate programs that emphasize teaching and conducting scholarly research in psychology/sociology of sport or counseling. (Students must complete both ES 502 Social Problems in Sport and ES 503 Exercise and Sport Psychology to fulfill specific Exercise Science major and pattern requirements. SOAN 190 Sociological Inquiry must be taken to fulfill Intercultural Perspective/Required Support.) Sport & Recreation Management (25 Hours) This pattern is designed to prepare Exercise Science majors for leadership positions in the fields of sport and recreation. Individuals with careers in sport management maintain a variety of positions that help direct competitive sport organizations such as high school, intercollegiate, or professional athletic programs. Recreation is a broad field that encompasses diverse organizations (YMCA/YWCA, Parks & Recreation departments) and highly specialized settings (i.e. golf/ski resorts). Careers in recreation focus on the leadership of broad-based programs that seek to maximize participation. The curriculum, with a foundation in the sciences supplemented by business and specialized courses, will foster an interdisciplinary perspective on Exercise Science and enable students to pursue graduate degrees in sport and recreation management. Students must be accepted into the Business Administration minor before enrolling in any BSAD or ACCT course. A minor in Business Administration will be awarded to students who complete this pattern and satisfy all other requirements for the minor. Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 to remain in the pattern. (Students must complete ES 502 Social Problems in Sport to fulfill Exercise Science major requirements. ES 179 Outdoor Activities, ES 186 Outdoor Venture Activities, ES 200 Techniques of Aerobic Dance, and ES 236 Creative Dance for Children are strongly recommended to fulfill specific activity requirements in the major.) Individualized The individualized pattern is designed to support the development of special support areas not available from the normal selection. This pattern must be relevant to the career goals of the student and must be one that would logically follow from the courses included with the major. This pattern is not a “catch-all” for courses taken that do not fit the published degree requirements. Individualized patterns must be submitted to the Program Director by the academic advisor for approval. The individualized pattern should be agreed upon early to facilitate course sequence planning and must be equal or greater in credit hours than the Exercise Science pattern above with the lowest number of credits listed. TEACHING CERTIFICATION FOR EXERCISE SCIENCE MAJORS At Truman State University, the professional degree is the Master of Arts in Education (M.A.E.), built upon a strong Liberal Arts and Sciences undergraduate degree. Students who wish to become teachers should consult with their academic advisors as early as possible. The professional preparation component of the Master’s degree program is

administered in the Division of Education. Undergraduate preparatory procedures are available online on the Division of Education website (http://education.truman.edu). Students who successfully complete the Physical Education/Health/Coaching pattern within the Exercise Science major, including three Education courses (ED 389, ED 393, and ED 593) as well as SOAN 190, ES 179, and ES 186, will partially fulfill the undergraduate requirements for admission into the graduate MAE program in Exercise Science. For additional information, please see the MAE Admission requirements in the Graduate Section of the catalog or contact the Division of Education at (660) 785-4383.

The Athletic Training Major The athletic training major is designed to prepare students to successfully pass the BOC Certification exam and enter the field of athletic training as a certified athletic trainer. Students participate in a curriculum that combines classroom, laboratory and a progressive clinical education experience, designed for the students to apply information learned in the classroom and labs to hands on situations involving real patients and athletes. MISSION OF THE PROGRAM Truman State University’s Athletic Training Education Program's mission is, via a liberal arts education, to develop critical thinking athletic training professionals that are capable meeting the diverse demands of the field. OBJECTIVES 1. To prepare students for the BOC Certification Exam 2. To provide students, through a program of progressive clinical experiences, the skills necessary to perform the duties of a certified athletic trainer. 3. To instill the professionalism, discipline, and ethics required to be a successful certified athletic trainer. 4. To encourage students to actively investigate questions and ideas through reading journals, participating in continuing education, and research in athletic training related areas. 5. To furnish students with the clinical and academic skills to work in the variety of venues employing certified athletic trainers. 6. To expose students to the various job opportunities available to certified athletic trainers in a variety of venues. 7. To prepare students for the opportunity to attend graduate school or other medical professional schools/ training. 8. To integrate the academic courses: anatomy, human physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics, nutrition, and psychology with the clinical education of students in the athletic training education program. 9. To continue to determine the reliability and validity of athletic training course content and clinical experiences.

41


Major Requirements: The Athletic Training major consists of Liberal Studies Program (LSP) requirements, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) requirements, and major requirements. The total minimum number of credit hours required for a B.S. Athletic Training degree is 124; however the actual number of credits completed will depend on the LSP courses chosen. The Athletic Training major worksheet is available in this handbook, online at http://hes.truman.edu or in the Health & Exercise Sciences Program Office, Pershing Building 212. Graduation Requirements: An overall cumulate 2.0 GPA A 2.0 GPA in all courses completed at Truman State University A 2.5 GPA in major requirements (see major GPA calculation) 40 hours of 300-400-500 level courses 63 hours of liberal arts and sciences coursework Minimum 124 total hours of undergraduate coursework Assessment, residency, and all other requirements as outlined in the General Catalog Grade of “C” or higher must be achieved in all major courses

Athletic Training at Truman State University


♦ What will my degree say? Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training

♦ Will I be a certified athletic trainer when I graduate? No, you must also pass the BOC Certification Examination

♦ When can I take the BOC certification examination? The earliest you make take the exam is during your final semester before graduation. You have one year following graduation to take the exam.

♦ Why do I have to apply to the major? The number of students the Athletic Training Education Program can accept is limited by accreditation standards, so it has a competitive admissions process separate from the University’s admission process. The application is available on the athletic training major web-site http://hes.truman.edu/atmaj or in the ATEP program director’s office.

♦ Can I be an athletic training major and compete on a Truman athletics team? No, due to the large time demands involved in both varsity athletics and the clinical portion of the athletic training program, you can not be an athlete and athletic training major at Truman State University at the same time. If you are interested in participating in varsity athletics at Truman you can still become a certified athletic trainer by attending a graduate school that has an entry-level athletic training education program. In this case please make an appointment to talk with some of the athletic training staff at Truman, so we can guide you on this track.

♦ What if I don’t get into the major on my first application? You must select a different major, but you may reapply to the program the following year.

♦ What if I also want to be a physical therapist? In order to go to physical therapy schools you must have taken certain prerequisite courses. It is possible to meet these prerequisite courses as an athletic training major.

♦ egree? How long does it take to complete the dIt takes a minimum of 7 semesters.

♦ Do I need to go to graduate school?

No, there are entry-level athletic training jobs that do not require a Master’s degree. According to the NATA, approximately 70% of all certified athletic trainers have their Master’s degree. We do encourage students to continue o graduate school. Most graduate schools hire athletic trainers and offer a stipend while you earn a Master’s degree. t

♦ Where can I get a job when I graduate?

Recent graduates have found jobs in a variety of settings including: professional sports, collegiate sports and academics, high schools, clinical settings, the military, industrial and corporate settings, and sales and marketing. For

ore information about careers in athletic training look at m http://www.nata.org

♦ What is clinical education? The application of knowledge and skills, learned in the classroom and laboratory settings, in actual practice on patients under direct supervision. At Truman your clinical experience will include working with the certified athletic trainers before, during and after Truman athletic events and practices; as well as a general medical rotation with the Student Health Center.

HES Facilities and Lab Resources Students in the Health and Exercise Sciences Program at Truman have complete access to the equipment necessary for lab activities and research pursuits. While much of the equipment is portable, the primary locations for use are the labs located in Pershing Building. In addition to the labs described below, all students have access to Pickler Memorial Library and to many computer labs on campus. Human Anatomy Laboratory The human anatomy laboratory is located on the campus of the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCOM). The purpose of this lab is to allow students to identify structures discussed in the lecture portion of the Human Anatomy course. The lab contains a large selection of human bones and a variety of human organs including brains, lungs, hearts, and spinal cords. The lab also contains prosected human cadavers to assist the students in the understanding of the interrelationship of the human body's systems and structures. The laboratory is utilized by classes during the day and is open for study in the evenings. The Motor Learning/Biomechanics Laboratory The motor learning/biomechanics laboratory is located in Pershing Building, and is utilized by students and faculty for class activities and research endeavors. The motor learning equipment is used for evaluating reaction times (Movement timers), anticipation times (Bassin Timer), balance (electronic Stabilometer), and motor learning abilities (Rotary Pursuit). The lab also contains skeletal models and joint models which are used for the required cadaver anatomy class. The biomechanics equipment is used to analyze the mechanical characteristics of human movement, and includes video data collection equipment (video cameras and lights), data reduction equipment (video analysis tools including a computer, VCR, Peak Motus software), electromyographical data analysis (Coulbourn Instruments hardware, DATAPAC 2000 Software), a Kistler Force Platform, timing lights and pads, and goniometers. The Human Performance Laboratory The human performance laboratory is also located in Pershing Building, and is used by students and faculty for class and research efforts. The exercise physiology equipment is used for body composition (hydrostatic weighing equipment and skin calipers), flexibility (sit & reach and goniometers), strength testing (Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer, Jackson Strength Analyzer, and grip strength dynamometers), and cardiovascular testing (treadmill, cycle ergometers, arm ergometer, computerized metabolic analysis cart, 12-Lead EKG cart, lactate analyzers, centrifuge, spectrophotometer, and sphygmomanometers). In addition, this lab contains equipment for statistical analysis and presentation of data (Computers, SPSS software for statistics, Microsoft Office software for presentation, and printers). Athletic Training Clinic The Pershing and Kennels' athletic training rooms are utilized for health care for the University's student-athletes as well as providing a laboratory for clinical practice and active learning. Both athletic training rooms have various therapeutic modalities (muscle stimulation, ultrasound, iontophoresis), emergency and first-aid equipment (sphygmomanometer, AED, spineboard, vacuum splints) and rehabilitation equipment (Biodex, BAPS board, theratubing, cuff weights, mini-trampoline). The Pershing athletic training room contains offices for the head and assistant athletic trainers as well as a desk and computer for the students. Health Science Resources In addition to using the Human Performance Laboratory for such classes as Physiological Assessment and Research in Health Education, Health Science students use the Teaching/Learning Technology Center located in Pickler Memorial Library for Community Health and Methods for Health Educators courses. Multimedia instructional materials are used and created by students for health education presentations to both campus and community. In addition, instructional materials and curriculum guides in the Media and Curriculum Libraries in Pickler Memorial Library are used in the courses: School Health Programs and Community Health. Computer software for nutritional analysis, statistics, and environmental health mapping are also important components of classroom instruction.

Get Involved…

on campus & in the community

55

Things I Wish I Had Known When Starting Truman

1. Develop relationships with faculty members. They are human too and genuinely care about you and your personal and professional success.

2. A good college experience prepares you for

a career; a great college experience prepares you for life. Think expansively about your college experience and pursue opportunities accordingly.

3. Get involved in your major, campus and

local communities. Join clubs and be an active participant. Seek leadership opportunities wherever you can.

4. Truman’s academic program is a little like

an ocean, you should respect it but not be intimidated by it.

5. Learn how to write; you do that by writing

and reading every day.

6. Knowledge is no good if you cannot apply it. Constantly look to develop a “working” knowledge of your subject matter and find ways to apply it in a way that benefits those around you.

7. A dying man doesn’t care what your GPA

was, he cares if you have the knowledge to save his life. Knowledge and grades are not synonymous and don’t you dare surrender the former in pursuit of the latter.

8. Effort does not equal good grades. Good

performance equals good grades. Don’t confuse the two. No one really cares how hard you work or how many hours you put in, they care about the product you produce.

9. Be responsible and learn to accept

responsibility for your own actions. Professors do not give grades, students earn them.

10. Get up, get dressed, and eat breakfast before going to class. Take pride in your appearance. How you present yourself says a lot about who you are.

11. Conduct research. It is one experience that

will separate you from all the other persons applying for the same seat in graduate school.

12. Visit the University Career Center early and

often. They have many resources that will help you during your time at Truman, in getting a job, applying to graduate school, and long after you have graduated.

13. Live a healthy lifestyle. Exercise, eat well,

get the right amount of sleep, and develop effective coping strategies for stress.

14. Always, always, always read the directions

and then actually follow them.

15. Being kind is more important that being right.

16. Everyone wants to live on top of the

mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it. Enjoy the climb and don’t rush to reach the summit.

17. Consult regularly with your academic

advisor even if only to say “hello”.

18. Don’t worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

19. Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you

want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t.

Undergraduate Research in HES Undergraduate Health & Exercise Sciences students at Truman are heavily involved in research projects. Most of the projects researched involve questions proposed and developed by students. Once students decide to perform research on a particular topic of their choosing, they work with a faculty mentor. The students (with the help of the mentor) refine the question, design the study, collect the data, calculate the variables, analyze the results, and prepare the work for presentation and/or publication. By engaging in undergraduate research, students improve their technical writing, oral communication and presentation skills and increase their understanding of statistics, research methodology, the HES discipline, and the liberal arts philosophy. This allows students to individualize the learning experience and make it active. The undergraduate research experience provides a significant advantage in graduate school admissions or job applications, and not only builds self-confidence, but also demonstrates academic motivation by going beyond the minimum requirements. Students also develop a richer relationship with faculty mentor(s), which is especially helpful when letters of recommendation are needed. Below are a few examples of subject areas in Exercise Science on which students and faculty have collaborated: (Keep in mind these subjects are only a small selection of the many possible research areas in Health and Exercise Sciences!) Exercise Physiology Exercise Physiology explores the acute and chronic effects of exercise on the body’s systems. Areas of study include:

Body Composition: What are the amounts of muscle and fat in the body and how they change with exercise?

Strength: How does a muscle work, what makes it stronger, and how do we predict the amount of strength and individual has?

Immune Responses: How does the body’s immune system respond to exercise and how can we enhance the body’s protective systems with exercise?

Metabolism: How many calories do you burn when exercising, what fuels are used to produce energy, and how can we exercise better?

Nutrition: How does the body use food to produce energy, which foods are better for you, and are there sports supplements that will enhance performance?

Environmental: How do hot and cold environments affect the body’s ability to function, what happens when we exercise at altitude?

Sport & Exercise Psychology Sport and Exercise Psychology is the scientific study of people and their behaviors in sport and exercise. Sport psychologists seek to understand the effects of psychological factors on performance and the effects of participation in physical activity on psychological development, health, and well-being. Areas of study include:

Muscle Dysmorphia: How is the pathological pursuit of muscular size and symmetry measured, who is at risk, and how is it treated?

Body Alienation: How do athletes become alienated from their own bodies, and what behaviors are associated with body alienation?

Body Image: Why are some people compulsive exercisers, why do some people show off their bodies while others hide theirs, and what is the connection between the body and eating disorders?

Exercise Identity: How does one’s identification with exercise influence their behavior, and how does it make them at risk for unhealthy exercise behaviors?

Ethnic Influences: How are exercise behaviors and the psychological factors related to them influenced by one’s ethnic identity?

Biomechanics Biomechanics explores the application of physical and mechanical laws to human movement. Areas of study include:

Cinematographic Analysis: What can be revealed from high-speed film analysis of various sports movements?

59

Electromyography: When and to what degree are muscles involved in a particular movement?

Force Production: How much force is applied when parts of the body move, how can we generate more force in athletic movements, and what is the effect of increased strength on power production?

Below are a few subject areas in Health Science on which students and faculty have collaborated: Community and Public Health

Bioterrorism: What are the perceptions of bioterrorism threat among rural, northeast MO residents?

College Health Risk Behaviors: What are first-year college students’ perceptions of campus-wide risky sexual behaviors? What are the attitudes and behaviors toward tobacco and alcohol among first-year college students? How do we design a community-wide sober driver program?

Elder Health: How do we protect patients’ rights before nursing home admission? How do exercise attitudes and behaviors of urban senior citizens compare to AARP’s national survey results? What are long term care administrators’ perceptions of the Ombudsmen program in the state of Missouri?

Community Health Needs: How do we use an asset mapping tool as part of a community health needs assessment? How do we break down cultural barriers in a nutrition program?

Worksite and School Health

Worksite Health Promotion: What are the effects of a workplace ergonomics intervention on perceived risks of MSDs in clerical staff? How well did a workplace violence awareness program for nursing home employees work? How do we reduce transmission of blood-borne pathogens in occupational settings? How does Colorado's worksite health promotion activities compare to a National Survey? How do we design a worksite back injury prevention program? How do we design a Smoke-free Business Program?

Student Health: Are elementary students getting enough nutrition? What do health promotion programs for students in physician assistant schools look like? How do we involve the community in the implementation of Comprehensive School Health Education? What are superintendents’ perceptions of schoolsite health promotion in the state of Missouri? How do health promotion programs for medical students in allopathic and osteopathic medical schools compare?

Exercise Sciences students attend and present at several conferences each year, such as the Truman State University Student Research Conference, and conventions of the Missouri Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (MOAHPERD), the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) convention, the American College of Sport Medicine (ACSM), the Gerontological Society of America, the Conference on Teaching in Biomechanics, the Association for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology, the Central States Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine, and the Missouri Academy of Science. Health Science students attend and present at many national, regional, and local conferences every year including: American School Health Association (ASHA), American Public Health Association (APHA), Eta Sigma Gamma Annual Meeting, Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR), Gerontological Society of America (GSA), Missouri Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (MOAHPERD), AT Still University of Health Sciences Geriatric and Primary Care Conferences, Capitol Poster Day, and Truman State University Undergraduate Research Conference.
