Location: Bellin Health Titletown Sports Medicine and Orthopedics, 1970 South Ridge Road, Green Bay, WI, USA

This course will introduce the concepts of effective exercise dosing, prescription and rationale in the orthopedic and sports setting. Topics covered will include discussion on clinical decision making for utilization of frequency, duration, and intensity/load to achieve a desired stimulus. Discussion will cover patient specific dosing using rate of perceived exertion, reps in reserve, and patient feedback. Although there will be lecture and group discussion, the course will be primarily lab based. We will cover how to assess, teach, cue and coach the squat, deadlift and overhead press. Modifications and progressions for each movement will be covered to address a large patient population. The goal will be to introduce very practical and clinically applicable topics for immediate carry over into clinical rotations and practice.
