40th Annual Shoulder Course 2023

0th Annual Shoulder Course 2023 James C. Esch, M.D. founded the San Diego Shoulder Course in 1983. Having a passion for educating, mentoring, and positively cultivating the standard of shoulder care, he continually pursued opportunities to advance shoulder educational offerings. Beginning with a small group of like-minded individuals meeting to discuss 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 worldwide 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.
