The certificate course in sports medicine is a multi-disciplinary approach from Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, Sports Science, Sports Medicine, Exercise Physiology and Sports biomechanics to bring and produce a complete holistic approach to movement & rehabilitation using adjunct therapies/ modalities with diagnosing and treatment of sports related injuries. Students can expect a gruelling and comprehensive programme to include cadaveric lessons to help understand anatomy on a deeper level, on how the body may be affected with movements, manual therapy and manipulations of soft tissues. This is the first certificate level of its kind to have at least *45 hours of cadaver dissections to learn with, along with lectures on orthopaedic testings and so much more. The whole course is similar to a full time studies and will take place in Singapore and our partnered India's physiotherapy college for the live practicums. The online practicum can be done anywhere with a total of 6 months period. The wide exposure to what you will be getting on anatomy / physiology studies, orthopaedic testings, practicals and hands on practise is what makes this certificate course an immense value to those wanting to enter sports medicine or the health & fitness industry at entry level.

Course aim/ outcome:
The sports medicine certificate programme focuses on rehabilitative therapies and provide students with foundational knowledge and skills to communicate clearly across the spectrum of healthcare professionals. Students will learn basic medical terminology, exercise science/ kinesiology principles.
The SMP certificate aims to provide students with the latest and highest level of applied theory and application to be able to practise as an independent sports medicine practitioners. The course also aims to bridge the graduate to work closely with other healthcare/ medical professionals, by providing movement prescription and manual therapy to achieve long term recovery and increased wellbeing. For those wanting to work with people, and be qualified to provide sports medicine in many different scenarios such as athletic departments , health and wellness centers, treating and managing musculoskeletal conditions, this course will be the perfect choice. Sports medicine care is seeing an increase with treating and managing injuries, so are the demands for competent practitioners, being a graduate of the course now allows you to take in more patients and clients as the competency level for graduates is second to none.
The course graduate can look forward to working in these settings:
