US Lacrosse-MedStar Health Webcast "ACL and Head Inuries"

Its springtime and that means our minds move towards the outdoors and sports!

If someone were to ask what are some of the "hot" topics in the sports medicine world today, at the top of the list would certainly be head injuries and ACL knee injuries.

The US Lacrosse Sports Science and Safety Committee, in partnership with MedStar Sports Medicine, will present two 30 minute informational sessions on Wednesday evening, May 21 featuring a panel of medical experts to discuss both head injuries and ACL knee injuries. Included panelists are MedStar Health Research Institute's own Dr. Andrew Lincoln, ScD with MedStar collaborators  Dr. Andrew Tucker, MD;  Dr. Milford H. Marchant Jr. MD; and Justin Cooper, PT, MPT, alongside a team of highly-esteemed experts from US Lacrosse. The webcast will be moderated by Dr. Richard Y. Hinton, MD, MPH. 

The sessions will be presented via live webinar, starting at 7pm, and will also be recorded for later review following the original presentation. 

Session 1: ACL Injuries: Treatment and Prevention
Wednesday, May 21 at 7:00-7:30 p.m.

Session 2: The Facts On Head Injuries in Lacrosse
Wednesday, May 21 at 7:30-8:00 p.m.
