As health professionals who care for athletes, you play an important role in preserving the integrity of competition and the core principles of true sport. Athletes and support personnel depend on health professionals to help guide them in making good decisions, so understanding anti-doping rules is essential to ensuring both anti-doping compliance and ideal patient care. With the HealthPro Advantage course, health professionals can learn how to best treat athletes subject to anti-doping rules.
Program Overview
FREE Anti-Doping Course for Health Professionals
HealthPro Advantage was created as a resource for any physician interacting with athletes and for medical professionals in ALL FIELDS, from Orthopedics to Sports Medicine. The course is particularly valuable to medical professionals because they are on the front line treating and advising elite and/or recreational athletes governed by the World Anti-Doping Code, and are similarly subject to those anti-doping policies and rules.
HealthPro Advantage is FREE FOR ALL HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS and participants can earn a certificate for successfully completing the course modules, tests, and evaluation. The course covers six key areas of anti-doping knowledge:
- Anti-Doping Roles and Responsibilities
- The WADA Prohibited List

- Dietary Supplements
- The Sample Collection Process
