Overview
The Comprehensive 2026 Sports Medicine Update
Sports Medicine 2026 is a recorded online course, using live streaming, electronic Q&A, and other remote learning technologies.
In the past year, there have been very significant clinical changes that affect the way we diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate sports injuries incurred by elite athletes, weekend warriors, and patients with active lifestyles.
This comprehensive update provides education for state-of-the-art approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of sports injuries. The course creates a unique opportunity to hear about these changes directly from world-renowned physician-specialists; team physicians and athletic trainers for the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, and New England Revolution; and physical therapists on the cutting edge of rehabilitation.
Education is practical, coupling updates with guidance on how to incorporate knowledge into practice to improve:
- Treatment outcomes for acute and overuse injuries of the spine, knee, hip, foot, and ankle, along with upper extremity conditions of the shoulder, neck, elbow, hand, and wrist
- The effectiveness and expediency of physical evaluations
- Appropriate diagnostic imaging and interpretation
- Rehabilitation and safe return to play
- Non-surgical management of injuries
- Decisions on when to refer patients for surgery
- Multidisciplinary team-based treatment with physicians, physical therapists, and athletic trainers
- Injury prevention
- Regenerative medicine and minimally invasive techniques for the management of injuries
- Treatment of athlete populations, including those who participate in baseball, cycling, crew, dance, and Para sports
The format is engaging, and attendees are encouraged to pose questions in sessions as well as one-on-one with the national and international experts who will be delivering the updates and education at this event.
In addition to being live streamed, all sessions will be recorded and placed in a secure Google Drive folder, enabling registrants to view and download them at their convenience. You will enjoy lifetime access to all course recordings and materials.
