The \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/f-marc.com\/footballdiploma\/\">FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine<\/a>\u201d is a free online course, accessible to all and also designed to help clinicians learn how to diagnose and manage common football-related injuries and illnesses.<br \/>\nEach module is written by international experts in their respective fields, sharing written content, podcasts and video examinations as well as providing links to journal articles and other resources. High-profile players also share their experiences of injury and what they learned through recovery. For further information,<a href=\"http:\/\/f-marc.com\/footballdiploma\/\">\u00a0check the diploma webpage<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe diploma acts as an easily accessible platform for disseminating the knowledge that the FIFA Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC) has gained over the past 22 years. For instance, by raising the awareness of the FIFA 11+ programme alone, we may be able to reduce the incidence of football-related injuries by up to 50 percent.<br \/>\nWhile the diploma is designed to be completed in its entirety, it can be used in a variety of ways. For example, participants might want to learn about one area in particular and complete a single lesson or module only. In completing the \u201cFIFA Diploma in Football Medicine\u201d, medical staff will improve the standard of care they provide to athletes all over the world.<br \/>\nIt is an outstanding resource for all health practitioners involved in the care of football players. A unique, contemporary, comprehensive and superbly educational tool which should not be missed. Please pass on the word &#8211; education is key to prevention!<br \/>\nShould you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact FIFA\u2019s Medicine and Science Office (medical@fifa.org).
