The leading comprehensive and concise study guide for the Sports Medicine CAQ exam—fully updated and expanded for today’s clinician.

Building on the success of its previous editions, this trusted resource continues to set the standard for high-yield, evidence-based exam preparation. Carefully curated by expert clinicians and educators and aligned with the latest CAQ test blueprint, the book retains its efficient, outline-based format for focused, time-conscious review.

Organized to mirror exam content and weighted to reflect topic emphasis, the text spans five major sections: General Topics; Health Promotion and Injury Prevention; Diagnosis and Treatment of Sports Injuries and Conditions; Hot Topics in Sports Medicine; and Study Questions. The extensively developed diagnosis and treatment section addresses musculoskeletal, medical, neurological, and psychological conditions, alongside core topics in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and care of special populations.

This new edition integrates the latest evidence in sports science and clinical practice, including a new chapter on the transgender athlete and expanded content reflecting emerging trends in the field. The new edition features more than 270 new board-style questions with detailed rationales—plus additional online-only content—to reinforce learning, strengthen clinical reasoning, and build exam-ready confidence. Led by new editors Jason L. Zaremski and Christopher W. McMullen, this edition delivers the clarity, structure, and depth needed for certification success and real-world practice.
