Legal Aspects of Sports Medicine: Turning Knowledge Into Action (Recorded Webinar)
This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard MedBridge courses.
At the foundation of sports medicine are providers seeking to protect and maintain the wellness of those involved in physical activity and sport. Being a healthcare provider in a sports medicine setting is fraught with risk because of the immediate and emergency care required that may differ from care in other settings. To exacerbate the issue, practitioners may not realize how their knowledge limitations, clinical care decisions, or inaction could result in legal proceedings.
This webinar aims to examine legal terms and analyze previous cases specific to sports medicine. Attendees, such as physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and others working in sports medicine settings, will be able to review common errors cited in case law as a foundation for making actionable changes to one's practice. We will encourage attendees to familiarize themselves with strategies to mitigate potential litigation risks.
Learning Objectives
- Examine legal terms relevant to sports medicine
- Analyze previous cases to identify common errors in clinical care
- Apply case law to clinical practice in a variety of sports medicine settings
- Implement risk management tools to decrease sports medicine errors during clinical care
