Teach General Medical Conditions with Confidence: Leveraging ATu’s Medical Screening App (October 2025)

Faculty Webinar - ATu

From skin rashes to cardiovascular red flags, athletic trainers need a broad knowledge base to identify and manage conditions beyond the musculoskeletal system. The ATu Medical Screening app brings this vital content area – primary care sports medicine – into a clear, structured, and evidence-based framework for teaching. In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll explore how the app guides students through:

Gathering a thorough subjective history and identifying red flags for referral
Generating provisional and differential diagnoses for non-orthopaedic conditions
Performing targeted physical exams for 14 body systems

Gain practical ideas for integrating this app into your course, lab, or clinical education. Help students connect symptom patterns to pathological conditions and build confidence in addressing the full spectrum of athletic training patient care.
