RESOURCES

RESIDENT/FELLOW SEM RESOURCES

Keep in Touch

On behalf of the Ontario Medical Association Section on Sport and Exercise Medicine Executive, we are excited to share with you CASEM’s list of learning resources.

This list of resources was initially compiled to help learners have more guided self-studying but would be useful to anyone looking to learn more about countless topics. We have a wide variety of resources, including interactive modules, evidence-based guidelines, textbooks (some of which are free to access!), and online databases.

This project would not have been possible without the unbelievable amount of help from current and previous fellows, as well as residents in other specialties. This is not meant to be comprehensive or for exam prep, but to be used as practical clinical tools.

If you want to make an addition to the list, please contact cpd@casem-acmse.org. Resources are meant to be evidence-based, clinically relevant, and free from commercial bias. Enjoy!
