Educational Overview
Course Description
The COVID-19 era has created the need for sports medicine programs in all settings to implement new policies, procedures and protocols to best care for their student-athletes and patients during the pandemic. This program focuses on the different approaches of the management of COVID-19 from sports medicine programs and healthcare providers in the high school, college and clinical settings. One example of this that will be reviewed is the implementation of tele-rehab for post-surgical patients. In addition, this course discusses how sports medicine and orthopaedic injuries of the upper and lower extremities have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 era. This program focuses on evidence based practices for use of the latest technology and surgical procedures used to treat orthopaedic conditions associated with musculoskeletal trauma of the proximal hamstring tendon. It includes a brief overview of the related anatomy, as well as rehabilitation considerations for non-operative treatment options and post-surgical therapy protocols. Program content is designed to assist healthcare providers with acquiring the skills and knowledge to provide quality care and improve patient outcomes.
Educational Objectives
- Discuss how sports medicine programs in the collegiate and high school settings have managed COVID-19 to best care for their student-athletes.
- Discuss how to implement tele-rehab in the clinical setting for rehabilitation of post-surgical patients.
