ESS 378 PSYCHOLOGY OF INJURY
Health care practitioners need to understand the many potential factors that contribute to successful recovery from injury. This course will take a biopsychosocial approach to understanding injury. Students will examine the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries, as well as how to professionally communicate with those who are injured. The physical, psychological and cultural factors around these issues will be discussed to understand the breadth and depth of impact injury may have. The objective of this class will be to help future health care practitioners better support the injured patients and to give them evidence based practices to aid them in their recovery from injury.
