Continuing Medical Education Credit
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners should be able to:
- Implement an effective evaluation algorithm, based on recent research, for musculoskeletal and medical sports medicine conditions through an arthroscopic surgery lens.
- Assess and apply surgical and non-surgical treatment recommendations and rehabilitation protocols for the diagnosis and clinical management of joint disorders in athletes.
- Review and implement new minimally invasive techniques for the management of shoulder, knee, hip, and elbow pathology.
- Integrate prevention strategies with healthcare team(s) to improve musculoskeletal and medical health in their patient population.
AOSSM CME MISSION STATEMENT
The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) seeks to provide orthopaedic surgeons and other professionals who provide comprehensive health services for the care of athletes and active people of all ages and abilities with
evidence-based continuing medical education activities that are
- high-quality,
- unbiased,
- up-to-date,
- learner-driven, and
- produced in a variety of formats.
The expected results of our educational program are that learners will reflect on their own practice of sports medicine and integrate their educational experiences with their practice as they continuously improve patient care and outcomes.
Specifically, we expect that they will report change in competence by indicating that they intend to apply new knowledge, skills and judgement in surgical decision-making, diagnosis determination, developing treatment options, and evaluation of rehabilitation status, or that they will express an intent to change an aspect of their practice in response to the educational experience.
The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
