Another Successful year for the Academy’s Sports Medicine Review Course
On May 14-17 the Academy hosted the return of it’s
successful Sports Medicine Board Examination Review Course. Nearly 100
physicians headed to Denver for 4 days of comprehensive learning of sports
medicine topics. Some were preparing to sit for the American Board of PM&R’s
subspecialty exam while others were on hand to improve their knowledge of sports
medicine topics. Either way, attendees were very impressed and satisfied with
the extensive education the course provided.
11 experts in sports medicine topics, some specializing in family medicine, took
on the task of covering a very large amount of information and accomplished this
through a number of materials. In addition to the 4 days of lecturing, attendees
received course handouts of nearly 500 pages along with a hard copy SAE.
Attendees were excited about the breadth of these materials and the value they
will provide in the future.
Along with a great learning experience attendees had the chance to enjoy many
networking opportunities. After 4 days of lectures and breaks, multiple lunches,
and a networking reception, attendees were able to meet peers and develop
relationships that will be beneficial on multiple levels in the future. Once
lectures came to an end, attendees were able to walk out to the heart of
downtown Denver for an evening on the town, or head out to one of the many
outdoor experiences Colorado has to offer.
