The UPMC Adaptive Sports Conference will offer healthcare workers, trainees, and students an opportunity to learn the essential medical knowledge needed to safely volunteer with and provide medical coverage to adaptive athletes at Pittsburgh based adaptive sports events. Attendees will come together to learn about disability etiquette, medical coverage basics, and gain hands-on experience with adaptive sports equipment.
