JSR Part I: Evidence-Based Practice CE Course supports the initiative in the health professions to integrate the best new research and evidence into clinical decision making with the goal of improving patient outcomes. Certified athletic trainers completing this course may earn continuing education units to apply toward the required evidence-based practice category to maintain their certification.

This online continuing education course includes a collection of 10 articles originally published in Journal of Sport Rehabilitation (JSR). These articles present research on topics such as functional performance measures in youth following lower-extremity injury, effects of physical therapy visits following ACL reconstruction, and musculoskeletal conditions of the hip and other associated factors that influence squat performance. The articles are followed by an online exam containing 100 questions. Upon passing the exam, you may print out and submit a certificate for continuing education credits.

Evidence-based practice is becoming the standard for all allied health professionals. The articles in this course support the concept of seeking out and evaluating relevant research so you can apply it to your daily practice to aid your athletes.

The editorial mission of Journal of Sport Rehabilitation (JSR) is to advance the understanding of all aspects of sport rehabilitation, particularly in the areas of therapeutic exercise, therapeutic modalities, injury evaluation, and the psychological aspects of rehabilitation. JSR publishes peer-reviewed original research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, critically appraised topics (CATs), case studies and series, and technical reports that directly affect the management and rehabilitation of injuries incurred during sport-related activities, irrespective of the individual’s age, gender, sport ability, level of fitness, or health status. The journal is intended to provide an international, multidisciplinary forum to serve the needs of all members of the sports medicine team, including athletic trainers and therapists, sport physical therapists and physiotherapists, sports medicine physicians, and other health care and medical professionals.
