Attend a Sports Medicine Conference Organized by the Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education (FORE)
Whether treating professional, collegiate, or recreational athletes, orthopaedic surgeons who specialize in sports medicine are challenged to help their patients resume an active lifestyle and function at a high level. For this reason, it is crucial for these surgeons and other healthcare professionals specializing in sports medicine to stay apprised of the latest developments in this dynamic field. One way to do so is to attend a sports medicine conference organized by the Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education (FORE).
Orthopedic Sports Medicine Conferences Held Annually in Top Destinations
Every year, FORE plans accredited conferences dedicated exclusively to orthopaedic sports medicine. Each conference has a unique focus, enabling practitioners to select the course that most closely aligns with their professional interests. Our current course schedule includes:
Detroit Regional Sports Medicine Symposium

FORE/AANA World Series of Live Surgery
Orthopaedic surgeons have found that when looking to master a new surgical technique, there is great benefit in watching the procedure being performed by an expert surgeon who provides a step-by-step explanation of the technique. That’s the concept of FORE’s 3-day meeting organized in joint providership with the Arthroscopy Association of North America.
At this sports medicine conference, held annually in Chicago, internationally recognized orthopaedic surgeons will present the latest recommended surgical treatments for a variety of sports injuries to the knee, shoulder, and hip.
