In addition to attending lectures, learners have the option to join smaller advanced-topic workshops and to choose which talks best fit their learning goals. Our expert faculty will present on essential hot topics in sports medicine including sports concussion, orthobiologics, and sports nutrition. We will concurrently have small group workshops, including our essential physical exam workshop series as well as a series of advanced physical exam workshops, talks on sideline concussion evaluation, how to assess readiness to return to play evaluation in the PT office and training room, and holistic care of the master athlete. This course will be super high-yield for primary care providers, athletic trainers, and physical therapists caring for patients of all ages who have all types of exericse and sports-related concerns.

1. Conduct efficient and accurate sideline and office-based musculoskeletal examinations. Diagnose the most common musculoskeletal injuries in people of all ages using history, exam, and (if needed) imaging. Choose the most up-to-date and evidence-based treatments for common musculoskeletal problems, from the athletic training facility to the physical therapy office, to the clinic. Identify opportunities in which collaborating with different types of sports medicine professionals can benefit a patient’s care. Apply evidence based evaluation and treatment in cases of sports concussion, sports nutrition, running medicine, orthobiologics, and joint replacement.
