Symposium Overview
The purpose of this symposium is to provide the latest information on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of athletic-related medical conditions and musculoskeletal injuries. The content is based on comments from past participants as well as faculty and clinical staff’s perception of current trends and issues in sports medicine. The symposium will focus on practical and clinically relevant information for participants to use in their daily practice. New in 2025 will be a Strength and Conditioning section.
