Educational Information Kit

Educational Information KitCooper Bone and Joint Institute, along with the Cooper in Schools Program, have developed and implemented a wide array of educational resources, programs, symposiums and handouts designed to help allied health care professionals, teachers, administrators, coaches, parents and community members answer commonly asked questions regarding their orthopaedic health.

The topics enclosed within this Educational Information Kit have been developed based upon questions from the community during our community events, educational symposiums and educational lectures.

You are always invited to our educational events. View a complete list of our upcoming programs by clicking "class and events" above.

If you have any questions or would like to have a complete Educational Information Kit provided for your school, community center, or recreational center, contact us via email or call (800) 8-COOPER for more information.
