OVERALL OBJECTIVES: The overall objective is to provide the participant with practical and clinically relevant information. Upon completion of this CME activity, the physician or healthcare provider should be able to describe the current approach to formulating differential diagnoses, diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive management of the various disciplines presented.
NEEDS STATEMENT: The specialty of Sports Medicine crosses over into several Primary Care areas such as those of EM, FP and IM. There is a need to educate the Primary Care Practitioner in the principles of acute and preventive care of commonly encountered disorders and injuries which this course will provide. However, understanding the principals of the Pre-Participation PE as well as the long-term consequences and dangers of Steroids and Stimulants in Sports will also be communicated. Preventive care, as in the Exercise Prescription topic, will be taught and is instrumental in maintaining a healthy active population which is a goal of healthcare today. Finally, new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Concussions will be provided as well.
