WHY REGISTER?

Since 2001, the Jornadas Clínicas Espregueira (JCE) have had the honor, pride and technical-scientific and logistical responsibility of welcoming more than 500 people to each edition. We have been rated with five stars in the categories of speakers, staff and location. Over the last 23 years, more than 10,000 professionals and students in medicine, physiotherapy, nursing, nutrition and sports science, among others, have benefited from the JCE. This unique event has a greater focus on traumatology and sports rehabilitation, but is distinguished by its eclectic character, with physical exercise and food and nutrition sciences taking on a growing role, deserving the interest and applause of all participants.

The JCEs provide a unique, inclusive context for discussion, conducive to the development of knowledge and skills. The quality and opportunities for professional development and networking that the JCE offers are recognized by both the participants and the institutions that accompany us, making each edition a transformative event.

The JCEs make a significant contribution to training professionals in the health and life sciences, enabling them to establish synergies in harmony of concepts in order to develop safe and effective professional practice, with a positive impact on the well-being and health of society.

As of the 2024 edition, the Jornadas Clínicas Espregueira (JCE) will be called the Espregueira Clinical Congress, reflecting the growth and consolidation of this event as an international reference in the field of sports health and rehabilitation.
