This course is designed for practicing musculoskeletal medical professionals to understand how to integrate their practice into any esports or gaming setting. This course is a sequel to the Foundations course and if you find yourself here without having taken that course first please complete Foundations before beginning.

  • Pre-participation Screening For Esports Understand the evidence-based pre-participation screening used at the highest levels of esports with teams like 100 Thieves, CLG, and Team Liquid. With an emphasis on practical and applicable knowledge, you use the provided templates to run a pre-season health screen in the professional, collegiate, or even high school setting.

  • Current Issues in Esports Medicine and Performance Successful integration with players and teams requires an understanding of esports organization structure, culture, and operation. Learn about successful strategies in esports medicine for integrating with esports teams at a variety of levels.

  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Esports Issues The medical certification provides an in-depth dive into the region-specific considerations for gaming and esports. Each section includes a review of anatomy and biomechanics, a breakdown of subjective and objective evaluation essentials, and a comprehensive overview of diagnostic and intervention techniques for the most common gaming injuries. Regions covered include hand/wrist/forearm, elbow, shoulder, neck, and thoracolumbar.

  • Esports-Specific Tendon Rehab Due to the high APMs and low load nature of gaming and esports, tendinopathic injuries are common. You’ll learn the most evidence-based approaches for managing tendinopathy spectrum disorders as efficiently as possible.
