Gymnastics Sports Medicine Program Implementation: A Multi-Disciplinary and Comprehensive Approach to Athlete Care
NOTE: This course is not available as part of our subscription plans. This course must be purchased individually.
Course Description
This course is part 9 of a 10-part series which may be taken independently or as a part of Gymnastics Sports Medicine Certification (GSMC) offered by MedGym (For further details regarding the GSMC click HERE.)
In this course, we will talk about creating your health care “team.” Who is a part of this group for all athletes, and who is available as needed for individual cases? We will discuss the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to health care- proactive, preventative and reactive and the roles that many can serve for individual athletes and the aggregate team. The people may be in place, but equally important are the forms, the process and procedure for checking standards, documenting, follow through and more. Following SafeSport guidelines for respecting the privacy of the athlete’s health information has to be balanced with proper treatment team communication and information availability. We will touch on SafeSport and Athlete Wellness laws/guidelines for Mandatory Reporters, abuse (mental, physical and emotional) awareness and reporting/procedure guidelines.
