Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Center (OFAC) is pleased to host the 8th Annual Columbus Orthopedic Symposium along with OhioHealth. If past years are any indication, this will be a great event, with a fast paced and energetic line up of presenters. The program will be held at the Westerville Medical Campus, and give a brief overview of what is new and great in the orthopedic world. Attendees can also earn up to 5.25 credit hours of Continued Medical Education (CME). Dr. Philbin has put together an exciting group of speakers for this year’s event. This conference is intended for Primary Care Physicians, Physical Therapists, Athletic Trainers, Orthopedic Surgeons, and Podiatrists but we certainly encourage those outside these medical arenas to attend.

This year the program is designed to give the attendees a better perspective on the current practice of the sports medicine and orthopedic surgery.  The overall purpose and goal of attending is to give physicians, physical therapists, and athletic trainers useful tools and information on these topics in order improve their practice and patient care. The morning will start with registration at 7am and a welcome from Dr. Philbin at 7:30am, followed by 2 hours of presentations focused primarily on sports related injuries and sports medicine, woundcare, and pediatric back pain. After a short break and Q&A session, the 10am presentations will begin, exploring more sports medicine topics including a new approach to caring for rib fractures. An additional hot topic for the afternoon session is “Born to Run Barefoot, a closer analysis of the minimalist running movement”. Q&A and closing remarks will round out the program at around 1:00pm.

We are grateful for the support of the Arthritis Foundation of Central Ohio, OhioHealth, as well as numerous vendors. Without their support this event would not be a success. We invite you to join us for what is sure to be an exciting and beneficial program. The registration deadline is Friday, May 6th, or when the maximum attendance capacity has been reached.

Admission is $75 for Physicians, $50 for Allied Health Care Professionals, and free for Residents and Medical Students. For registration materials, click here.
