Reviews
"There is much benefit to be derived from cover to cover. I commend Dr. Bernier's effort and would recommend this as a "must have" for all students entering the athletic training field."
— John C. McGee, PT, MPT, OCS, ATC, Journal of Athletic Training
"…very convenient for athletic trainers to consult while working with clients. It is also a unique work; most books on athletic training are textbooks. Few, if any, are reference books. This work fills a niche by serving the needs of athletic trainers who require an accessible and concise resource."
— Danielle Marie Carlock, American Reference Books Annual
Review from previous edition:
"...This reviewer can think of no better way to start or add to a reference collection in athletic training than to purchase this compact but highly informative reference book."
— Richard Slapsys, American Reference Books Annual
