Sickle cell trait (SCT) is a genetic condition that affects athletes and other active populations when they engage in exercise. Specifically, it is a common hemoglobinopathy that can have significant mortality or morbidity consequences if the exertional sickling event is not recognized. Clinicians will feel confident in choosing the best screening method for their institution, become aware of the current screening mandates, and learn the foundation of policies to develop regarding SCT testing. Clinicians will also become knowledgeable in the variety of ways exertional sickling can present clinically and how to differentiate it from other conditions. This course relates to athletic trainers who work in different clinical settings (for example, all organized sports and military), board-certified sports physicians, strength and conditioning coaches, and board-certified sports physical therapists who work in any level of organized sport.
