Description:
Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to welcome you to the 2026 11th Annual Nguyen Sports Medicine, Orthopedic & Trauma Hybrid Live & Virtual Symposium which aims to gather a broad spectrum of sub-specialties to discuss and debate recent advances in the field of health care, sports performance, orthopedic surgery, and sports medicine. The aim of the symposium is to present a non-didactic, interactive, concise, focused, and practical, ‘use tomorrow’ approach to common clinical scenarios in sports medicine. The perspective is multifaceted and is seen through the lens of the various sub specialties of primary care medicine, sports medicine, orthopedic surgery, physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic therapy, athletic training, coaching, teaching, nursing, law, politics, and business.
The audience is multidisciplinary and consists of orthopedic surgeons, other specialty surgeons, sports medicine doctors, family doctors, other specialty doctors, radiologists, businesspeople, politicians, lawyers, coaches, athletic trainers, chiropractors, physiotherapists, kinesiologists, nurses, clinic owners, medical, graduate/university students or anyone with a keen interest in sports medicine.
The last sports medicine symposium was a success, and I would like to again thank the scientific committee, guest speakers, and all attendees for taking the time from their busy family and work commitments, brave the weather, overcome family medical and life emergencies, and travel from far to attend this special event to share their knowledge with you. I demand the best of the speakers in terms of their knowledge and expertise, dedication to this event, and presentation styles. I thank them deeply for their patience and understanding.
