Sports Medicine - Register Now!

Course Overview

Ready for something new? 

We are reinventing our annual summer course for 2022! 
Friday, June 10th, we will have a full day of fantastic speakers who will update us on a variety of sports medicine topics.
The focus for our course this year is on what is new and cutting-edge in treating musculoskeletal pain. All of Friday’s content will be on Zoom so you can join us from anywhere!

Saturday, June 11th, we plan to host an in-person hands-on day of workshops at UCSF Mission Bay to explore the use of ultrasound in sports medicine, learn key rehab strategies to incorporate into your care for patients with a concussion, and refine your knee and shoulder exam with our experts! We will also do a networking social to mingle with our UCSF faculty and exhibitors. Creating a healthy and safe environment for all of our attendees, faculty, exhibitors, and staff is of the utmost importance as we plan for this meeting. Should we be unable to gather in-person on Saturday we will transform the workshops to a live stream.

You can register for just Friday if you would like only the lecture content, but we love learning and teaching by doing at UCSF so hope that you will make plans to join us on Saturday as well! 

Course Objectives

An attendee completing this course will be able to apply acquired skills and strategies to:

• Explain cutting-edge surgical treatments for joint preservation of the ankle, knee, shoulder, elbow, and hip.
• List three essential parts of the concussion evaluation and describe how each of these, if abnormal, would affect your return-to-learn and/or return-to-play plan for the patient.
• Counsel patients who are suffering from acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain about most evidence-based pain management strategies.
• List three red flags on a patient evaluation that would prompt referral to a physician to consider imaging.
• Improve your ability to complete a physical examination of the knee and shoulder.
• Explain the role of ultrasound and advanced imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries.
• Optimize your practice with enhanced patient-centered communication skills.
