Invitation to Lecture: Prof. dr. Karim Khan

Dear colleges,

We would like to inform you that as part of the Belgrade Sports Medicine E Forum (BSMEF) activities, prof. dr Karim Khan will give a lecture on “Managing lower limb tendinopathies in 2020—What have we learned since 1996? ” on Thursday, June 11th, 2020, starting at 6:00 pm (Belgrade time, GMT +2, summertime) via the Zoom Platform.

Prof. dr. Karim Khan (MD, PhD, MBA) has served the sport & exercise medicine community since the late 1980s as: a clinician and team doctor for non-elite and elite teams, a researcher, a book co-author (Clinical Sports Medicine, 5 editions), and a journal editor. He worked with physiotherapists, including Jill Cook, in the basketball setting and this led to his interest in patellar tendinopathy. He started his formal research training 10 years after he graduated as a medical doctor—so it’s never too late to start research!

Karim was born in Germany and grew up in Australia but was recruited to the University of British Columbia in 2000. He learned a great deal while on sabbatical in Norway in 2012 and while he was Director of Research at Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital (2013-15). He is in his 13th and final year as Editor-in-Chief of the British Journal of Sport Medicine (BJSM). You can find him on Twitter @BJSM_BMJ (for now) and @KarimKhan_IMHA.

It is planned that this week’s lecture will take approximately 35 minutes and its focus will be on Tendinopathies, that continue to limit athletes’ performance and careers. Karim Khan was a former team doctor for elite basketball teams and a ballet corps. In this zoom presentation he will address the current controversies from a 25-year personal experience where he contributed clinically and with research. Seemingly simple questions such as: What’s the pathology?, How does mechanotherapy work?, Which exercise program is best?, and What about medical treatment and surgery? are still generating lots of debate, and he will try to answer them all. The lecture will be  followed by audience questions.
