Welcome from the Co-Chairs
Dear Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellows:
Join us for the 26th International Sports Medicine
Fellows Conference to be held March 20-21, 2026 in Carlsbad, California.
The mission of the ISMF Conference is to educate, train, and motivate sports medicine fellows on complex and
innovative concepts, technology, and techniques. This course provides a unique opportunity to participate in
the largest gathering of 2025-2026 Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellows.
The two-day program is designed to enhance the knowledge and skill of orthopaedic sports medicine fellows.
High level lectures and case presentations teach the work-up, management, and rehab techniques utilized by
the international experts who comprise the faculty. Live surgical demonstrations and hands-on workshops
provide an interactive experience for fellows to practice techniques with guidance from top leaders in the field.
ISMF Conference Highlights:
- Early Bird Registration Fee - ONLY $250!
- Hands-on Cadaveric Articular Cartilage Treatment and Patellofemoral Workshops
- Interactive Case Presentations
- World Renowned Faculty
This course is an exceptional opportunity to interact with world renowned international faculty who are
committed to fellow education. The 2026 ISMF Conference provides the skills needed to handle complex
cases during the transition from fellow to attending physician.
We know you will want to join us next March in Carlsbad, California!
