Default ISMA cert.....any good?
What does anyone know about the International Sports Medicine Association? They have a certification program. Their web page looks very weak....very little detail. Does anyone have this cert?

32 views, and Z-E-R-O replies! Guess that answers the question (as I toss the flyer in the trash)

Just curious, but with so many certs available, what makes you interested in that one?

Hi Roland and Lisa....thanks for replying.

I'm not interested in them. the college I teach part time at had a IMSA CPT certification course listed. I've never heard of them either. I checked their website for information about them. Website is real weak and lacking in detail. However, they are having a big convention here in baltimore during October, of course some pedophiles had one in Baltimore a few years ago as well, so conventions don't mean lot either. heck, even Al bundy went to a shoe salemans convention.

I was mainly wondering just who/what they were since I never heard of them before; I'm still woking toward the NSCA CPT (*sigh.....someday*)

It would seem hard to go wrong with international, sports, and medicine all in your title, but there ya go.
