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."
