• Recognize and differentiate shoulder signs and symptoms related to shoulder pathology.
• Recognize and identify how  current literature relates to the pathogenesis, classification, diagnostic imaging, conservative and post-surgical interventions for rotator cuff tendonopathy, instability, slap lesions, scapular muscle dysfunction, fractures/arthritis, and frozen shoulder.
• Identify appropriate intervention techniques for the shoulder
• Identify and interpret response to treatment utilizing an algorithmic approach
• Identify expected outcomes and identify how to maximize outcomes when treating patients with rotator cuff tendonopathy, instability, slap lesions, scapular muscle dysfunction, fractures/arthritis, and frozen shoulder.
