UCSF 19th Annual UCSF Sports Medicine Conference 2024

Join us for our 3-day head-to-toe sports medicine conference! New this year we are offering a track for primary care providers and a track for athletic trainers and physical therapists. On days 1-2 we will present the top sports medicine injuries and conditions along with demonstrations of the relevant physical exams. Starting the afternoon of day 2 and continuing into day 3, learners have the option to join smaller workshops and to choose which talks best fit their learning goals.
Some topics that are of interest to all will be presented in a large group format, such as Sports Concussion Update, Orthobiologics in Sports Medicine and Sports Nutrition.  We will concurrently have many small group workshops. Some workshops will be geared towards those with less sports medicine experience, such as the series of essential physical exam workshops. Other workshops will be useful for those with more sports medicine experience, such as the series of advanced physical exam workshop as well as talks on Red Flags on the Sideline and How to Assess Readiness to Return to Play in the PT Office and Training Room. This course will be super high-yield for primary care providers, athletic trainers and physical therapists caring for patients of all ages who have all types of exercise and sports-related concerns.
