The Annual Symposium on Sports Medicine The Annual Symposium on Sports Medicine started in 1972 as a post-graduate education program whose mission is to provide the most up-to-date training in sports medicine. The program provides educational presentations for all members of the athletic medicine team, including team physicians, athletic trainers, coaches, nurses and physical therapists. The format is that of didactic lectures, break-out sessions with one-on-one interaction with the faculty, and sports specific anatomical dissections. Dr. Jesse C. DeLee of San Antonio has been the course chairman since 1980. Dr. DeLee, an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, is a clinical professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where he is the director of the ACGME accredited Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellowship.

He is currently the chairman of the UIL Medical Advisory Committee for high school athletes. Dr. DeLee has served as team physician for many area high schools and universities for more than 20 years.
