San Diego Shoulder Course

ABOUT OUR COURSE

James C. Esch, M.D. founded the San Diego Shoulder Course in 1983. Having a passion to educate, mentor, and positively cultivate the standard of shoulder

care, he continually pursued opportunities to advance shoulder educational offerings. Beginning with a small group of like-minded individuals meeting todiscuss evidenced-based and best-practice modalities related to arthroscopy, the course expanded throughout the years to incorporate arthroplasty, fracture

management, instability, sports medicine, and complex shoulder care. The course has continued to grow and is now recognized world-wide for quality and

comprehensive education, being proclaimed as the best shoulder course in the world. As President and C.E.O., Dr. Esch continues to oversee the annual course to ensure fulfillment of our mission: to improve the competence, performance, and patient outcomes of shoulder care.

A LETTER FROM OUR CHAIRMAN

On behalf of San Diego Shoulder Institute’s (SDSI) Board of Directors and Program Planning Committee, I would like to invite you to register for our 39th Annual Shoulder Course: Arthroscopy, Arthroplasty, and Fractures. Course dates are

June 15-18, 2022 at a new location: the Hotel Del Coronado.

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been staggering to us all. San Diego is currently minimally impacted by the virus, and has lifted most sanctions,

declaring travel and group gatherings to be safe. As we believe a live course is the best format to provide meaningful education, we are thrilled to be able to host a live event in 2022. The Hotel Del Coronado has just completed an extensive renovation, blending

its historical reputation with a modern influence in a one-of-a-kind beachfront setting. We are confident our robust expanded program, combined with our new venue, will offer an educational experience that is second to none, affording SDSI to maintain our reputation as the best shoulder course in the world.
