2 NOW IS THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE AS OLD AND TRUE AS THE SKY FOR THE COUGAR THAT KEEPS IT WILL PROSPER BUT THE COUGAR THAT BREAKS IT WILL DIE AS THE WIND HOWLS THROUGH THE LAND THE LAW SWINGS SIDE TO SIDE FOR THE STRENGTH OF THE PRIDE IS THE COUGAR AND THE STRENGTH OF THE COUGAR IS THE PRIDE - Adapted from The Law of the Jungle by Rudyard Kipling 2

3 7 Habits of Highly Effective People By: Stephen R. Covey Habit 1: Be Proactive: This is the ability to control one s environment, rather than have it control you, as so often is the case. Self determination, choice, and the power to decide response to stimulus, conditions and circumstances. Habit 2: Begin With The End In Mind: This is called the habit of personal leadership- leading oneself that is, towards what you consider your aims. By developing the habit of concentrating on relevant activities you will build a platform to avoid distractions and become more productive and successful. Habit 3: Put First Things First: This is the habit of personal management. This is about organizing and implementing activities in line with the aims established in habit 2. Habit 2 is the first, or mental creation; Habit 3 is the second or physical creation. Habit 4: Think Win-Win: This is the habit of interpersonal leadership, necessary because achievements are largely dependent on cooperative efforts with others. Win-Win is based on the assumption that there is plenty for everyone, and that success follows a cooperative approach more naturally than the confrontation approach of win-or-lose. Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood: One of the great maxims of the modern age. This is the habit of communication, and it s extremely powerful. Diagnose the problem before you prescribe the solution. Simple and effective, and essential for developing and maintaining positive relationships in all aspects of life. Habit 6: Synergize: This is the habit of creative cooperation. The principle is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which implicitly lays down the challenge to see the good and potential in the others person s contribution. Habit 7: Sharpen The Saw: This is the habit of self renewal and it necessarily surrounds all the other habits, enabling and encouraging them to happen and grow. The self can be interpreted into four parts, all of which need feeding and developing. These parts are: Spiritual, Mental, Physical and Social/ Emotional. 3

23 CLINICAL CASE STUDY GUIDELINES PURPOSE The purpose of case studies is to expose the ATS to an organized way of developing the student s clinical reasoning skills which are based on the knowledge and skills that the student develops in MAT program lecture and lab classes. The case study follows the P.I.C.O. model of evidencebased medicine which is comprised of a series of four sets of guided questions to help the student formulate an appropriate question. This exercise will provide documentation of the ATS s thought process when the ATS s preceptor evaluates the student utilizing the Written Clinical Evaluation Form that is completed twice a semester. At the end of each semester the ATS will submit their completed case study to their assigned clinical education course faculty (e.g. clinical coordinator) with the expectation that a minimum of one (1) case study must be submitted for publication or presentation to a professional organization related to athletic training prior to the completion of their MAT degree. Examples of professional organizations include but are not limited to the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA), Southwest Athletic Trainers Association (SWATA), Texas State Athletic Trainer s Association (TSATA), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), etc. IDENTIFYING A CASE STUDY Each student has very similar experiences in clinical education but a variety of different experiences. Once per semester the ATS will be evaluated on the application of clinical knowledge and skills in the related Clinical Education course (ATP 6191, ATP 6192, ATP 6193, ATP 7194, ATP 7195, ATP 7196). The student will use P.I.C.O. model (shown below) of evidence-based medicine as a guide to identify which learning experiences to choose based on the student s current and previous semester s clinical education and/or experiences and courses. For example, if a student is enrolled in ATP 6191and studying anatomy and emergency management and prevention of injury, that student cannot choose to write about a clinical education and/or experience relevant to ATP 6193 which would include upper-extremity evaluation. Please see the Outline of course sequence and clinical education (p11) and related materials. P.I.C.O. Model for Clinical Questions P Patient, Population, or Problem How would I describe a group of patients similar to mine? I C O Intervention, Prognostic Factor, or Exposure Comparison or Intervention (if appropriate) Outcome you would like to measure or achieve What type of question are you asking? Type of study you want to find Which main intervention, prognostic factor, or exposure am I considering? What is the main alternative to compare with the intervention? What can I hope to accomplish, measure, improve, or affect? Diagnosis, Etiology/Harm, Therapy, Prognosis, Prevention What would be the best study design/methodology? 23

24 CLINICAL CASE STUDY GUIDELINES The following are guidelines for the case study. Please keep in mind that timelines are scheduled to change as deemed necessary by the course instructor: Choosing a Case Study: 1. The ATS must formally propose a case study to the course instructor and assigned preceptor. The final decision for case study approval must be made by the course instructor and preceptor. 2. Once a case study is selected, the ATS must receive permission from the patient/client for the release of medical information for presentation and/or publication of the management of that patient s/client s injury (please see Case Study Patient/Client Release Form). The patient s/client s name and all related personal identifiers will be removed and deleted to protect the patient s/client s privacy. Two (2) permission forms are included in this handbook. Please keep in mind, if the patient/client is a minor, prior permission from the patient s/client s parent and/or legal guardian must be obtained. 3. Two students who are under the direct supervision of the same preceptor may choose to present the same case study; however, each student must complete a case study demonstrating his/her independent work. Prior signed approval from the course instructor and preceptor will be required. The final grade will be determined by the course instructor using the grading rubric outlined on the Criteria and Evaluation of a Case Study form (listed below). 4.

36 RECORDING CLINICAL EDUCATION HOURS The following are Guidelines for Recording Clinical Education Hours: 1. In each semester the ATS will use ATrack to record Clinical Education Hours. 2. Each semester will consist of weekly reporting periods. 3. The ATS will be required to log in to ATrack weekly to record activity in which the ATS and preceptor provide signature/verification of Clinical Education as defined on pages of this handbook. 4. The assigned preceptor reserves the right to challenge the reported Clinical Education hours at any time. Challenges will be brought to the immediate attention of the Clinical Education Coordinator. 5. Upon submission of Clinical Education hours via ATrack the ATS will be able to view the cumulative total hours of supervised activity. Because all ATrack Clinical Education hour reporting sheets are accreditation documents, ATS and preceptors must be diligent in recording and reporting accurate Clinical Education activity. Failure to accurately report and record Clinical Education hours will result in an Incomplete for that reporting period. Consequently, this may result in both the ATS and preceptor being dismissed from the program. An example of ATrack: 36
