Welcome to the Clinician resource area!
ACSM offers several educational programs for clinicians involved in
sports medicine. ACSM is accredited by the Accreditation Council
for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to offer CME-category 1 credits
to physicians.
The ACSM
Team Physician Course is designed to enhance the medical skills
of physicians working with athletic teams and athletes. This
course is offered in two parts, held each year in February.
The Advanced
Team Physician Course, offered in cooperation with the American
Medical Society for Sports Medicine and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports
Medicine, is held each year in December. This advanced course
has been designed for the experienced and knowledgeable team
physician. The most current data and application of medical
information in the practice of sports medicine is presented during this
course.
The ACSM Annual
Meeting is the largest single gathering of sports medicine
professionals world-wide with more than 5,000 participants of which
approximately 800 are physicians. The Annual Meeting offers an
array of clinical sessions including clinical colloquium, clinical
lectures, clinical workshops, clinical case presentations and clinical
symposia. Many of the integrated symposia provide the physicians
the opportunity to learn from the scientists – taking a topic from
bench to bedside.
Team Physician Consensus Conference
ACSM leads a distinguished panel of team physicians to produce the Team
Physician Consensus Statement, a series on select medical issues for the
care and treatment of athletes. Statements are developed by a
collaboration of six major professional associations concerned with
clinical sports medicine issues. The organizations are:
• American Academy of Family
Physicians
• American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons
• American College of Sports
Medicine (Consensus Conference Facilitator)
• American Medical Society
for Sports Medicine
• American Orthopaedic
Society for Sports Medicine
• American Osteopathic
Academy of Sports Medicine
