The case studies in this book, through the use of authentic injury/illness assessment examples, will help readers link theory and clinical practice with the goal of passing the BOC certification exam and becoming competent clinicians. The situations present more than 130 of the injuries that athletic trainers encounter. The questions that accompany the cases ask readers to identify clinical and differential diagnoses, critique the evaluating clinician's actions, recommend treatment, and arrive at decisions similar to those they will face in the field.
