I was happy to contribute a chapter to the new Sports PT Section’s specialty exam prep guide. My chapter was titled, “Translating Evidence into Practice.” I highly recommend the entire guide to prep for the exam, but you can also purchase individual chapters to get current on sports physical therapy topics:
