Join AOSSM, the American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy, American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association as we host a workshop dedicated to the collaborative approach to athlete care. Orthopaedic surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and primary care allied health professionals will discuss how to return the athlete with an injured knee back to the playing field. Join us as we guide you through the injury itself, the best rehab methods, how to gauge when an athlete is ready, as well as protection for and prevention of future injuries. Don’t miss your chance to ask the experts how they treat and prevent injuries on and off the field!
You may register for only the Sports Health Symposium or add onto your AOSSM-AANA Combined 2021 Annual Meeting registration and attend both!
