Why should athletic trainers use MedBridge for CEUs?

My wife and I are athletic trainers, so we understand what a challenge it can be to get your CEUs completed in each reporting period. Fifty is a lot of CEUs and my wife does all of her continuing education through MedBridge. While getting the required CEUs is important, if I have to go through the process I want the courses I take to be useful AND interesting without a high cost. That is where Medbridge comes in for me. The number one question I get:

Is a Medbridge subscription worth it for athletic trainers?

These are my top 5 reasons MedBridge is my go-to for CEUS (spoiler alert: Medibridge is 100% worth it!):

1) The course topics are outstanding and very specific to what we need to be able to do as athletic trainers. I think of topics like athletic low back pain by Kyle Matsel. Low back pain is so common in our athletes and active individuals, and this course series covers content that may not have been emphasized in our entry-level education.

2) The instructors are outstanding. Most have exceptional research backgrounds but more importantly still practice what they are teaching. For example, Todd Arnold, MD who is the Medical Officer for Elite Athlete Care for USA Track & Field, covers concussion emergency management, environmental conditions, abdominal injuries, and infectious disease. He is an incredibly interesting presenter so you will learn a lot and not be bored!

3) The app allows you to easily watch courses on the go. While waiting between games or for practice to start, you can easily get your CEUs done! Even better, MedBridge has a sports and orthopedic CEU podcast (which I think is great, but I am clearly biased because I am the host!). But seriously, you can get CEUs for listening to interesting podcasts! Here are some of my favorite episodes for athletic trainers:


Are You Missing Out on the Latest Treatment for Overuse Injuries?

How Can We Create Effective Return-to-Running Protocols?

How Do We Untangle the Evidence Around Shoulder Rehabilitation and Surgery?

Disconnected Expectations: How Do You Manage ACL Return-to-Sport Timelines?

Blood Flow Restriction: Is It a Game Changer for Rehab Professionals?

4) SHHHHH: Here's a Medbridge subscription hack for athletic trainers: By buying a subscription now, you can get ALL of your NATA BOC CEUs for two reporting periods. For example, if you buy a MedBridge subscription in 2025, you can get all 50 CEUs for the 2024-2025 reporting period and then start taking courses again January 1 and get all your CEUS for the 2026-2027 reporting period. I have never been that ahead of the game, but could you imagine that?

5) There are sooooooo many courses on MedBridge! They have over 840 courses that are NATA BOC approved. Additionally, if your state requires live CEUs, you can get those through MedBridge. 

The MedBridge promo code “PLISKY” saves you over $100 on MedBridge Education subscription this year. A MedBridge subscription is only $274 for athletic trainers. You will save over $100 with the MedBridge promo code “PLISKY” and unlimited access to over 2,000 courses with this discount.
