APPROVED COURSE REPORTS
In 2013 SDSI moved the course venue to the heart of San Diego, CA. This central location affords attendees the ability to enjoy spectacular California weather, walk to various sight- seeing attractions, and maintain close proximity to course offerings.
James C. Esch, MD founded the original course in 1983. Over the years, the course has grown in reputation and popularity. San Diego Shoulder Institute (SDSI) is committed to advancing the professional practice of shoulder care and resultant patient outcomes by hosting a broad spectrum annual shoulder symposium. Recognized as “The Best Shoulder Course in the World” this year proved no exception. One registrant documented “Not only is the San Diego Course the best in the world, it is the best sub-specialty learning opportunity in the world bar none”.
In 2014 Matthew T. Provencher, MD served as course Co-Chair. Dr. Provencher’s extensive military and surgical background brought a wealth of new and diverse topics to the course agenda. The popularity of the course allows the chairs to recruit the leading shoulder experts in the field to serve as course faculty.
