We are looking forward to once again hosting our Medical Emergencies in Skiing and Snowboarding course. This course provides education and practical skill development for the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Medical Pool in acute injury triage and illness commonly seen when traveling with elite level teams. This annual course is designed specifically for volunteer staff of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Medical Pool. The course provides CME for physicians/medical providers, is a requirement for the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Medical Pool, and must be retaken once every four years.

We are happy to announce that the course will be moving to Park City, UT!

Dates: Jan 12th and 13th 2024

Location: Park City, UT (Center for Excellence and UOP)

General Information: There will be a mix of lectures, skill sessions and on-hill/on-snow scenarios. There will be some new information provided on para sports now that para alpine and para snowboarding have returned to USSS! The course will generally look like this:
