Join Nationwide Children’s Hospital Friday-Saturday, November 20-21, for the 2026 Pediatric Sports Medicine & Orthopedics Conference at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Conference Center in Columbus, OH.
This conference is designed for physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who treat pediatric patients with sports medicine injuries and orthopedic problems.
Attendees may choose to attend in-person or virtually on Friday where afternoon breakout tracks in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and MSK ultrasound will be available. Saturday’s in-person course will feature two hands-on breakout sessions: an MSK ultrasound workshop scanning pediatric models, and a rehabilitation lab highlighting treatment techniques for pediatric sports and orthopedic patients.
