The Running Clinic is an organization providing continuing education intended for health professionals that has grown to become the reference in the prevention and treatment of running injuries.

Our seminar entitled “New trends in the prevention of running injuries” has been delivered on all five continents, and has taken thousands of health professionals by storm. From diagnosis to treatment, including running gait analysis/retraining, detailed footwear analysis/prescription and appropriate load management… everything is presented in a structured way to ensure that registrants can readily apply learnings with recreational runners and athletes.

Using the most recent scientific evidence, the instructors question several unjustified and widespread practices. Complimentary listing on The Running Clinic’s website and monthly literature updates are but a few of the little extras that will make this 17-hour high-quality seminar an awesome experience.

This Group Learning program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 7 Mainpro+ credits.

The World Physical Activity Day is celebrated every year on April 6th– come join us in Ottawa as CASEM, with the support of the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) and MD Financial,  presents this inaugural, evidence based, full-day symposium on the health benefits of physical activity across a spectrum of chronic diseases.

Our goal, with the help of our specialty medical colleagues, will be to profile through a purely evidence based lens the role exercise/physical activity/movement could play in the prevention, treatment and management of a number of chronic diseases.

For this first conference we are looking at some relatively new areas of research in prescribing activity in oncology,  dementia, and mental health, as well as the growing evidence of physical activity benefits in pediatric obesity, OA and cardiac rehab.  We will subsequently be developing tools and infographics that physicians can then use to educate their patients.

The development faculty include Dr. Tatiana Jevremovic, Dr. Elisabeth Hobden, Dr. Laura Cruz, and Dr. Jane Thornton.  This CASEM conference will be a first of its kind in Canada and we are excited at the opportunity of starting the dialogue as to how physicians can prescribe physical activity as one of the major treatment modalities.

ACCOMMODATION
CASEM has negotiated a room rate at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Ottawa CityCentre (101 Lyon Street North Ottawa, ON K1R 5T9 )

Conference Room rate: $189.00 plus taxes

The number of athletes with disabilities participating in organized sports and the popularity of the Paralympic Games is steadily increasing in both Canada and around the world. As with all types of athletes, sports injuries are common among athletes with disabilities

Athletes with disabilities are predisposed to medical conditions and have a higher prevalence than that of a non-disabled individual. Understanding these conditions are vital to the proper prevention, care, and return to activity for these athletes.

The goal of the course is to prepare physicians to provide medical care to athletes with physical impairments.
The target audience is a physician of any specialty, with or without their CASEM diploma, who wishes to develop and enhance their knowledge of and skill in the care of the para-athlete. This course may also be of interest to allied health professionals
