This conference is designed for physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare providers who treat pediatric patients with sports medicine injuries and orthopedic problems. Attendees may choose to attend in-person or virtually and afternoon breakout tracks in Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation, and MSK Ultrasound will be available.

Join us for our 3-day head-to-toe sports medicine conference! New this year we are offering a track for primary care providers and a track for athletic trainers and physical therapists. On days 1-2 we will present the top sports medicine injuries and conditions along with demonstrations of the relevant physical exams. Starting the afternoon of day 2 and continuing into day 3, learners have the option to join smaller workshops and to choose which talks best fit their learning goals.

The program is designed to present the health care team with current knowledge about diagnosis, management, and prevention of a variety of injuries commonly incurred in sports participation and to emphasize uniquely influential factors that must be addressed in the provision of the highest quality of care to the competitive athlete. We will present specific performance improvement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of detectable problems that exist in athletes. In addition to lectures, case studies and interactive discussions will be offered to enhance the participant’s understanding of the topics presented.

What began as an opportunity for sports medicine care givers to discuss current issues in an engaging environment, has turned into a multi-disciplinary sports medicine conference.
Our two most important program contributors are Geoffrey Baer MD of the University of Wisconsin and Jeffrey Kutcher MD, Sports Neurologist, Director of the Kutcher Clinics. These two are coordinating collaborators in Sports Medicine to bring us the latest in research and practice updates in the fields of Orthopedics and Sports Neurology.

Mayo Clinic's 9th Annual Sports Medicine for the Clinician 2025 CME conference in Orlando, Florida offers attendees the confidence to accurately diagnose and treat sports-related conditions, as well as injuries sustained during recreational physical activities. This CME conference covers appropriate testing and referral criteria, as well as what is on the horizon for diagnosis and treatment. The conference also helps to improve the specific skills in physical exam and imaging interpretation that assist in the diagnosis of conditions that may have implications for participation, performance and recovery in sports and recreational physical activities.

In the past year, there have been a number of 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 (physiatrists, orthopedists, radiologists); team physicians and athletic trainers for the Boston Red Sox, New England Revolution, and New England Patriots; and physical therapists on the cutting edge of rehabilitation.
