Relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) is caused by a calorie deficit relative to energy expenditure. Prevalence estimates vary, but all clinicians working in high school and collegiate sports should be able to identify, assess, and create a plan of care for these athletes. This course will equip providers with the knowledge and assessment tools needed to manage these athletes.
