OVERVIEW

19th Annual CU Sports Medicine Fall Symposium

The 19th Annual CU Sports Medicine Fall Symposium will be held Friday, September 13th at the Stadium Club at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. This course is presented by the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Department of Orthopedics, Division of Sports Medicine. The focus of this year’s course is on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehab of upper extremity injuries.

This year's conference will offer an in-person and on-demand option, however, CME for physicians will only be available to in-person attendees. We cannot offer CME credit to on-demand physicians attending. CEU's will be offered to both in-person and on-demand non-physicians (PT, AT, etc). In an effort to get as much in-person attendance as possible, there will be no virtual livestream during the conference. We will offer an in-person registration option and a virtual on-demand option only. For more information, visit the tabs above and below.
