Saturday, October 24, 2020, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM EST, McGlothlin Medical Education Center

We have been closely monitoring the development of COVID-19 in our community and throughout the United States. In order to safeguard the health and well-being of our learners, faculty, staff and communities, we have made the decision to change the format of the 2020 Sports Medicine Essentials to an online virtual event this year. No live in-person sessions will be held at the McGlothlin Medical Education Center.

Please check back for more information on the virtual event. 

Join us for an information packed one-day course covering all of the sports medicine essentials you need to know. This course will help you learn to identify the most common sports medicine injuries you'll see in your exam rooms, as well as their proper treatment plans, and when you need to refer for surgical intervention.

This activity is planned with the assumption that mass gatherings will be permitted by the activity date, with social distancing requirements and rigorous cleaning procedures needing to be followed. The number of available seats will be limited to ensure social distancing can be maintained during the activity. If possible, a live stream option will be provided to allow learners to receive the educational content without attending the activity in-person.

We will continue to monitor guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). Adjustments to the number of seats available may be made to accommodate more or less attendees per guidelines to ensure the activity is held in a safe and responsible manner. Updates will be posted as available.

1. Evaluate common sports related injuries to the upper and lower extremities and joints.
2. Describe best practices for non-surgical treatment for common sports related injuries.
3. Review appropriate referral for surgical evaluation of common sports related shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, and knee injuries
4. Identify common sports injuries in need of emergent evaluation vs urgent outpatient referral
5. Outline common medical issues and nutrition counseling in athletes across the lifespan.
6. Discuss latest updates regarding concussion in athletes.
7. Identify appropriate radiology studies for evaluation of common sports related injuries.
