The New Orthopaedic Division e-Manuals (online) are the required reference materials for this course.  The fee for the e-Manuals is a ONE-TIME fee of $125.00+tax which grants you access to the clinical techniques manual for the highest Level of course you have participated in, as well as the e-Theory Manual. Your access to the "living" updated versions of the manuals will remain in place as long as you participate in an AIM Level Course every two years. If two years lapse since your last course with us, you will still have access to the manuals, but not their future updated versions.

If you have never paid the $125.00 fee you will be provided with instructions to complete the purchase about 2-4 weeks before the start of the course.

If you have paid the $125.00 previously (including at Level 1) your access/permissions will automatically be upgraded about 2-4 weeks before the start of the course.

There are also recommended text books along with the new e-manuals.  You can start looking to purchase the following texts to compliment:

  1. Moore’s Clinically Oriented Anatomy 8th edition – Keith Moore, Arthur Dailey, Anne Agur. Wolters Kluwer/Lippincott Williams and Wilkins 2014.
  2. Grieve’s Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy 4th Edition – Gwen Jull, Ann Moore, Deborah Falla, Jeremy Lewis, Christopher McCarthy, Michele Stirling. Elsevier 2015.
