UPMC hosted the Inaugural International Sports Medicine Conference on November 7th and 8th. The virtual conference was chaired by Dr. Freddie Fu, Chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at UPMC, with co-hosts Dr. Volker Musahl, Chief of Sports Medicine at UPMC, and Mr. Patrick Carton, director of Sports Medicine for UPMC Ireland. The two-day event brought together some of the most distinguished sports medicine experts across Europe and the U.S. to share knowledge and experience in treating and rehabilitating athletes at all levels. The conference covered a broad range of relevant topics in sports medicine including knee, foot and ankle, hip, shoulder, and groin injuries, as well as concussion and return to play. The event was truly an international collaboration, with 28 speakers presenting from 8 different countries, and attendees logging in from all over the world. There were registrants from 70 countries, and more than 1,400 people who logged in to view the conference.
We are proud to have participated in this international educational endeavor, and we look forward to future collaboration!
