Description
An invaluable resource for any athletic training curriculum, this text introduces athletic training as a profession by presenting an ethical
framework of values, principles, and theory. Chapters explore important issues related to cultural competence, foundational behaviors
of professional practice, professional and moral behavior, and ethical decision-making - skills that both inform and transcend the athletic
training profession. Learning activities at the end of each section help you see connections between the material and clinical practice,
revealing new insights about yourself, your profession, and the organizations with which you will interact.
