Dear Practitioner,

We would like to invite you to the 2nd annual MD Solutions Snow Sports Medicine Conference which will be held at the Rydges Jindabyne from Tues Aug 7 to Thurs Aug 9. Last year was a great success and everyone enjoyed the quality of the presentations, meeting like minded practitioners and of course the amazing snow we had!

“What an enlightening conference! Roland was a great host who organised a varied program jam packed with quality presentations. I learnt tips that I could take into my private practice right the next day. Highly recommended to anyone interested in Snow Sports from both a personal and clinical level.”
