Earn CEUs and sharpen your skills with the Boston Marathon’s learning management system, sponsored by Cogent Steps
The 129th Boston Marathon is right around the corner, and Cogent Steps is proud to support the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) as an education sponsor. Our mission has always been to advance the education and hands-on experience of medical professionals, especially in emergency and endurance medicine—and the BAA’s training opportunity is a perfect example.
While registration to volunteer on race day is now closed, medical providers of all kinds can still build their knowledge in marathon medicine by completing the Boston Marathon’s online Learning Management System. This comprehensive training is designed for the unique demands of race-day care and offers continuing education unit (CEU) opportunities.
