Athletic populations present increasingly complex diagnostic scenarios as the use of medications, performance supplements, and various substances becomes more prevalent across all levels of sport. Traditional neurologic examination protocols often fail to account for the significant ways these chemical agents can alter standard clinical findings, leading to diagnostic uncertainty and potential misinterpretation of true pathology.

This specialized course fills a critical knowledge gap by providing clinicians with the advanced understanding needed to navigate pharmacology-altered neurologic presentations in athletes. You'll develop expertise in recognizing how common medications mask symptoms, how supplements can exaggerate reflexes, and how various substances distort typical examination findings that form the foundation of functional neurology assessment.

Designed specifically for healthcare professionals working with athletic populations, this training enhances diagnostic accuracy when chemical variables complicate clinical interpretation. Whether you're evaluating weekend warriors taking multiple medications or elite athletes using performance supplements, you'll gain the sophisticated clinical reasoning skills necessary to distinguish between true neurologic dysfunction and pharmacologically-induced examination changes.

Led by Maggy Moore, an accomplished Athletic Trainer with advanced training in Functional Medicine, this course combines real-world sports medicine experience with cutting-edge pharmacological knowledge, delivered through the rigorous educational standards of the Carrick Institute.
