TIRANA, May 4/ATA/ The “UEFA Football Education Program” course, developed by the Department of Sports Medicine in the Albanian Football Association, has been successfully completed.
In this course that took place for the first time in Albania, in cooperation with the government of European football, UEFA, participated 50 doctors and physiotherapists, while the number of requests has been high, both from inside and outside the country, but due to the pandemic, not everyone was able to attend.
Lecturers of the course were well-known names starting from Gianluca Stesina who is the Head of the Department of Sports Medicine at the FSHF, Ilvi Begolli, coordinator of the department of sports medicine, Dr. Ridvan Alimehmeti, Head of the Column Service in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital “Mother Teresa”, who spoke about head traumas, Dr. Fiona Konomi, a graduate in Sports Nutrition in Italy, Dr. Dritan Todhe, who has a long experience in the field of Orthopedics, Sports Medicine and Sports Traumatology as well as foreign lecturers.
The purpose of this course was the further development of the field of Sports Medicine in Albania, which is still underdeveloped due to the lack of university structures or faculties that may have integrated programs in this field.
The Football Association, through the Department of Sports Medicine, which has been established for almost more than a year, is showing special care in this field, organizing from time to time courses for all young doctors, physiotherapists or medical students seeing the lack of university structures or Faculties that may have integrated programs in this field.
At the end of the course, all participants were provided with a certificate from the FSHF. /j.p/p.s./
