Reviews
I immediately found the material I was seeking in a detailed yet concise format that answered my questions, helped me to educate the athlete, and allowed me to give the coaches enough information to grasp the severity of the situation. It didn't take long to realize the usefulness of such a text in the athletic training room. Clinical Pathology for Athletic Trainers is an excellent addition to the athletic training room library. I believe it is a bargain for the information it provides and the time it will save searching for resources. <br><br>-- Tim Garl, MPA, ATC, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, Journal of Athletic Training
The writing style is reader friendly and appropriately informative. Clinical Pathology for Athletic Trainers: Recognizing Systemic Disease presents a overview of the general medical skills athletic training students need to learn. This text is a valuable resource for any entry-level athletic training student. --Stacy E. Walker, PHD, ATC, Ball State University, Athletic Training & Sports Health Care
