Sports Medicine

Sports offer so much more than a fun way to play outside. At Little Medical School, sports are a gateway to learning and the fascinating world of Sports Medicine. In this six-hour course, we use interactive tools and activities to teach students the basics of the popular medical field. They learn about reflexes and responses times. They learn about common sports injuries and how to treat them, about hands and joints, and in a class favorite lesson they’ll learn about and get to perform a Tommy John surgery.

Our sports medicine course was designed by a team of board-certified physicians and is led by a trained and background-checked instructor passionate about sharing medical knowledge with aspiring young learners. Watch your child beam with pride when he or she earns a diploma on graduation day
