Join us for the 35th Annual Ironman®World Championship Medical Symposium – a must-attend event for medical professionals with an interest in Primary Care/Sports Medicine and treating endurance athletes at all levels.

About the Conference
The Ironman®World Championship Medical Symposium is a non-profit, accredited annual five-day Continuing Medical Education event for medical professionals with an interest in sports medicine and treating endurance athletes at all levels. The conference is the only authorized Ironman®sanctioned sports medicine conference.

Course Objectives
The purpose of this course is to present cutting-edge information in the areas of sports medicine, exercise science and common sports related injury and illness that family physicians can directly apply to the care of their active and athletic patients. At the conclusion of the course, participants will be invited to apply lessons learned to the care of athletes competing in the Ironman® World Triathlon Championships as volunteers in the Ironman® Medical tent. They will be allowed to volunteer for 4 hours in the tent under the direct supervision of the Ironman® Symposium Faculty. This 4-hour “mini-internship” allows the participant to see hands on application of the material learned in the course.

Join us for a one day event regarding topics related to orthopaedic studies in sports medicine. The event will also provide CEU's.

This symposium features evidence-based and cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment strategies for sports-related and musculoskeletal conditions. Expert lectures representing a spectrum of sports medicine fields provide the attendee with multidisciplinary information related to athletic injury evaluation, treatment, prevention, and return to play transition. Multiple educational formats are used, including case presentations, interactive Q&A sessions, as well as live demonstrations of physical examination, anatomy, ultrasound, and arthroscopy.

This conference is designed for physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who treat pediatric patients with sports medicine injuries and orthopedic problems. Attendees may choose to attend in-person or virtually on Friday where afternoon breakout tracks in Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation, and MSK Ultrasound will be available. Saturday's program is only available in-person.
