Hello Everyone,
As we all find our way through this ever-challenging and uncertain time, AcuSport Education (AE) has begun to implement the NEW direction for Sports Medicine Acupuncture education for its students. The current 2019-2020 Sports Medicine Acupuncture Certification (SMAC) Program was stopped in March due to COVID-19. We paused the program halfway through completion and still need to finish Module III and Module IV. AE has made the final decision to offer the SMAC program in two ways: as
both an online webinar (partial program) as well as offering the complete SMAC program as an in-person, live-gathering event post-COVID. Please see below for information on the webinars and the live-gathering events.

WEBINAR COURSE SUMMARY
Anatomy/Palpation/Cadaver (APC) Lab:
- This webinar-based course has increased with more than 2 hours of educational information in contrast to the previous “live gathering” event. CEU’s/PDA’s pending approval.
- The registrant will also have access to a “technique video” presented by Callison that will complement and enhance the information taught in the Motor Point Location section of this 2-day online webinar. This separate “technique” video does not have CEU capability. Information taught in this APC course will be reviewed and practiced in the live-gathering ATI course held post-COVID.

Assessment & Treatment of the Channel Sinews (ATS):
- This 2-day webinar-based course has increased with more than 2-hours of educational information in contrast to the previous “live gathering” event.
- The didactic portion of this 2-day workshop will have continuing education units.
- Because a majority of this class is a “technique” class, CEU approval for the entire course will not be granted by the governing boards at this time. We will know more in the weeks to come of how many CEU hours this course will be approved for. Information taught in this ATS course will be reviewed and practiced in the “live-gathering” ATI course held post-COVID.
