The 2018 USMST Congress on Health and Sport took place on February 9 and 10, 2018 at the Renaissance Hotel, Long Beach.  This year’s Congress, part of the Physicians Soccer Summit, brought together outstanding speakers attending the PSS along with over 60 physician attendees from around the country.  The Congress, co-sponsored by University of California – San Diego, awarded CME credits and was a great way to start each day prior to the soccer competition.  Dr Suraj Achar, an attending physician at UCSD, was the Congress chairman and put together an outstanding, unique educational program.
