The highly esteemed authors, Katie Walsh Flanagan and Micki Cuppett, have combined their professional skills and educational expertise to create a valuable athletic training resource with updated content that aligns with Board of Certification (BOC) and Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) standards. The fourth edition offers the following updates:

• A new section on acute respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19 and SARS
• A new section on gastrointestinal disorders
• A new chapter on endocrine disorders
• Expanded content on concussion detection, treatment, and management, including return to play guidance
• New photos presenting medical conditions on diverse skin colors to help students learn identification skills
• Three case studies per chapter, delivered through HKPropel, to provide students with real-world examples; the case studies include multiple-choice questions that are assignable and automatically graded

The book is organized into three sections—Introduction to Medical Conditions, Pharmacology and Interventions, and Medical Conditions by System—and there are 18 comprehensive chapters.
