2011 University of Wisconsin Sports Medicine Symposium

Ten to 30 percent of patient visits in a primary care setting constitute musculoskeletal injuries. This course is designed to provide the latest information regarding the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of athletic and musculoskeletal injuries. Its 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 conference will focus on practical and clinically relevant information for participants to use in their daily practice.

Who should attend?

Team physicians, primary care physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, nurses, physician assistants, chiropractors and other allied health professionals who provide care for athletic and active populations.

Objectives

Upon completion of the symposium, participants should be able to:

1. Improve their ability to evaluate, diagnose and treat common sports and orthopedic injuries in active populations.
2. Identify common causes of hip pain in pediatric and adult active populations and appropriate imaging studies to assist in the diagnosis and management of hip pain.
3. Discuss concussion management and return to sport criteria for athletes, possible long-term neurological risks associated with closed head injuries and rehabilitation's role in the conservative management of hip injuries.
