The Annual Symposium on Sports Medicine The Annual Symposium on Sports Medicine started in 1972 as a post-graduate education program whose mission is to provide the most up-to-date training in sports medicine. The program provides educational presentations for all members of the athletic medicine team, including team physicians, athletic trainers, coaches, nurses and physical therapists. The format is that of didactic lectures, break-out sessions with one-on-one interaction with the faculty, and sports specific anatomical dissections. Dr. Jesse C.
