COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Orthopedic injuries and problems are more common than we realize. Countless celebrities, from famous actors and musicians to professional athletes, have suffered from injuries, pain, and other issues that led them to see an orthopedic surgeon. You may learn something new about your favorite musician or TV star or find someone who suffered a similar orthopedic condition. At Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center and the John W. Larson Foundation Comprehensive Spine Center, we diagnose, treat, rehabilitate, and work to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and diseases.

In this conference, “Celebrity Problems and Orthopedic Treatments”, we use celebrities only as examples to extend our knowledge and experience to primary care providers. The goal is to promote exceptional patient care by creating an engaging conference with education to improve medical practice for all attendees.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:

Interprofessional medical professionals including physicians, NPs, PAs, residents, fellows, nurses, physical therapists and medical students NO Charge.

• CE Credits will be offered.
• Residents, Fellows, and Medical and Nursing Students in attendance will be eligible for a drawing for a $500 gift card for a weekend getaway, or spa treatments, at a local venue.
