Welcome to the AMSSM 33rd Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD, April 12-17, 2024, #AMSSM2024. It has been an honor to work with the AMSSM Program Planning Committee composed of diverse, engaged members and staff to present our conference vision: “Physician Leaders in Sports Medicine.”
As sports medicine physicians, we have the opportunity to serve
as leaders in our communities, promoting safe sport and exercise practice, guiding policy change, collaborating with team members and fostering research, education and innovation. The meeting features national and international experts who will highlight practice-changing research and its clinical application.
The Program Planning Committee has compiled an all-star lineup featuring international speakers from nine different countries and exchange lectures from national and international sports medicine organizations. We are thrilled to have featured keynote speakers highlighting their leadership experiences within the community, national governing bodies, academic and private organizations. Program Planning Committee members have submitted their favorite leadership quotes that you will notice throughout the conference and this meeting booklet. In addition, the AMSSM Collaborative Research Network spotlight lectures throughout conference sessions will highlight AMSSM’s commitment to advancing research in sports medicine.
We will highlight the multiorganizational team physician consensus statement on shared decision-making and return to sport. Specifically, there will be shared decision-making sessions regarding return from musculoskeletal, mental health and medical conditions. MSK topics will include osteoarthritis, Achilles tendinopathy, back pain, injection therapies, long term development of the pediatric athlete and more. Medical topics will be highlighted during the medical round robin, concussion in sport, COVID and exercise sessions. Additional topics include current trends and evidence of injury and illness prevention and leading physician well-being.
In this Olympic year, you will also find opportunity to hear from the USOPC Chief Medical Officer, collaborate during the USOPC team physician breakout session and listen to Olympic and Paralympic experts in sport coverage. This year, we will be bringing sports economics to the main stage and featuring a sports econ ICL series. For the first time, #AMSSM2024 case presentations, ICLs, committee, special interest group, and team physician breakout sessions will have audio playback available in the app. Online video access will continue for the main stage sessions. You don’t have to miss a thing!
Baltimore will be a great host and we are excited to be involved in the community through the AMSSM Foundation Service Project and mentorship opportunities to local students. There is no better place in Baltimore to network with colleagues, catch up with friends and simply have some fun than at the world-famous National Aquarium on the Baltimore Inner Harbor during the Foundation Party, Monday, April 15th. Join AMSSM Night at Camden Yards to cheer on the Orioles on Tuesday, April 16th. But don’t wait until Monday and Tuesday to start connecting. Saturday, April 13th, the Welcome Reception will be held in the Exhibit Hall from 7-8:30pm. It’ll be a great way to kick off the conference!
