This certificate program will provide the participant with an enhanced learning experience that is of greater depth than a continuing education conference, but not as time intensive as a one-year clinical sport medicine fellowship. This program is developed through the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto in partnership with faculty from medicine, surgery and rehabilitation. The unique needs of primary care practitioners will be central to the course curriculum so that the common educational gaps in MSK knowledge can be bridged. This program will allow the participant to develop and pursue clinical practice questions as a precursor to literature searches, research projects and educational interventions.
