Denver, Colo.
June 10, 2009 to June 13, 2009
This year the Ringside Physicians' course and certification exam will be held June 10 - 13 in Denver, Colorado during the 2009 USA Boxing National Championships.

It is anticipated that you will be able to earn up to 24 hours of category I CME credit approved by the American Academy of Family Practice. In addition to the didactic sessions, there is also time for supervised practical experience at pre-bout physicals and at ringside.

You are welcome to arrive on June 7th as the boxing tournament begins on the 8th. A June 9th arrival is recommended if you are coming just for the course which starts the morning of June 10th. Later arrivals are also acceptable with credit hours being granted for the time actually spent. The exam may be taken without attending the course, but course participation is highly recommended.

Any licensed physician may participate in this course. Membership in USA Boxing is required, but can be done at the time if necessary, and is free. However, to take the certification exam, you need to have 3 years of experience with USA Boxing or the American Association of Professional Ringside Physicians. Two letters of recommendation are also required - one from your Local Boxing Committee (LBC) president and another from other USA Boxing personnel. You must also have performed as lead physician at three events.

Please pass this invitation along to any of your colleagues who might be interested.
