Title: Explain the scope and limitations of the secondary school student aide (SA) when assessing injury/illness.
Course: Sports Medicine/Athletic Training II (14062-II) > Section: Assessing Injuries and Illnesses

Explanation should emphasize that SAs must function under the direct supervision of a certified athletic trainer or other health professional; SAs do not diagnose, provide treatment, or render judgments independently.

It is imperative for the student to demonstrate the understanding that the role of the SA is not to practice the skills and competencies of a certified or licensed healthcare professional but to assist that professional in his or her daily duties.
