An excellent medical conference held concurrently included topics in sports medicine, heart health (Dr. Farshad Raisi), endocrinology, rheumatology (Dr. Amir Orandi), ocular trauma, and a review of the most significant injuries from the recently concluded World Cup tournament (Dr. Suraj Achar and Jivan Achar). A large contingent of players ventured to Estadio Correguidora to watch the home side Querétaro emerge victorious over the Tigres in a Liga MX match, before a Gala and awards presentation. The weekend concluded with a final mixed training session with participation by invited Liga MX professionals.
The USMST remains so very grateful for the relationships with the Mexican, Columbian, and Canadian teams that allow for these special events to occur. The next large-scale USMST event is a joint practice weekend in Toronto with Team Canada in preparation for the World Medical Football Championship in Costa Rica this December.
