- Examination and diagnosis of neuromusculoskeletal conditions and certain medical conditions
- On-site recognition, evaluation, and immediate treatment of injuries and illnesses
- Treatment and rehabilitation of emergent, acute, subacute, and chronic neuromusculoskeletal conditions
- Injury and illness prevention strategies
- Determining an athlete’s readiness to participate in sports
