We are excited to announce that
Emily Ravski, DO is the medical director for the
Newport Beach Triathlon, held this Sunday, November 12th. Additionally, Hoag Orthopedic Institute
has been confirmed as the official medical sponsor of the event. Supporting
the local community of Newport Beach and Orange County is important to
Hoag Orthopedic Institute and Dr. Ravski.
Dr Ravski is a board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation doctor
and is fellowship-trained in Primary Care Sports Medicine. The UCI Men’s
and Women’s Crew has been a longstanding official charity of the
triathlon and Dr. Ravski's participation as a member of the UC Irvine
women's crew team brings her involvement as this year's medical
director full-circle.
Dr. Ravski said “It’s an honour to serve as the medical director
for this longstanding event, and to be entrusted to organize and manage
the care of this year’s participants. I am looking forward to this
triathlon and I am very excited about my involvement in ensuring its safety.”
She continued, “Participating on UC Irvine’s women’s
crew for four years, significantly shifted my collegiate experience and
impacted my career choice. I love rowing! I became interested in learning
more about sports injuries because of my rowing experience, and that led
me down the path of becoming a sports medicine physician."
