9th Annual Advanced Care of the Young Athlete Symposium

Aurora, CO US
November 15, 2024

This year’s symposium will focus on the female athlete. Young female athletes face unique risks and challenges with sports-related injuries, rehabilitation, return to sport, and injury prevention. Additionally, female athletes are at increased risk for the female athlete triad, relative energy deficiency in sport, and eating disorders. Healthcare professionals will gain knowledge, competence and clinical performance in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of these conditions to improve outcomes for young female athletes.


Commercial Supporters

The 9th Annual Advanced Care of the Young Athlete Symposium is made possible, in part, through the generous support provided by Enovis, Healthy Roster and Ossur Americas, Inc., and in-kind support provided by Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc. We extend our gratitude for their commitment to advancing knowledge and enhancing care for young athletes.
