In 1986, in conjunction with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Cincinnati SportsMedicine Research & Education Foundation co-sponsored a continuing medical education program for orthopaedic medical specialists with the emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of knee, shoulder, and sports medicine problems. Sponsored by Cincinnati SportsMedicine, this program has evolved into one of the premier continuing education programs in the country, with an internationally recognized guest faculty.

The Annual Advances on the Knee, Shoulder, Hip and Sports Medicine Conference is one of the few comprehensive continuing education courses that includes clinical, surgical, and rehabilitation techniques for knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, and sports medicine pathology. Our internationally recognized, multi-disciplinary faculty share their experiences, research, and clinical outcomes to stimulate medical professionals to rethink their approach to many musculoskeletal challenges.

ACSM's Annual Meeting features learning opportunities for clinicians of all types and experience levels. You can choose from talks on clinically based topics; innovative, hand-on workshops and case presentations spanning a wide range of diagnoses.
Annual meeting offers sessions and special programming especially for students and early career professionals interested in career advice, mentoring, best practices and social opportunities with other students.

The purpose of this educational activity is to provide the most up-to-date information and hands-on techniques for health care professionals taking care of young athletes. After attending this conference, healthcare professionals who are caring for young athletes will be able to evaluate, diagnose, and manage injuries in the pediatric and adolescent athlete as well as apply hands-on techniques for treatment of sports injuries.
This program has been designed to educate primary care pediatricians, family practitioners, internists, emergency medicine physicians, sports medicine
specialists, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, pediatric medical specialists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, certified athletic trainers and other interested health care providers.

The AOSSM Annual Meeting brings together 2,700+ participants from around the world for education, research, innovation and fantastic networking and community. It’s the largest dedicated sports medicine meeting in the country, and you won’t want to miss the surprises in store for 2025!
