ACSM TEAM PHYSICIAN INITIATIVE
Team Physician Course
This meeting is designed to enhance the medical skills of physicians
working with athletic teams and athletes. Accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to
sponsor continuing medical education for physicians, ACSM's Medical
Education Committee offers a two-part course for team physicians. Upon
course completion, these physicians are qualified to organize medical
care for athletic teams, provide medical care to athletes, assist in the
development of conditioning and training programs, and provide coverage
for games and other athletic events.
Advanced Team Physician Course
Offered in cooperation with the American Medical Society for Sports
Medicine and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, 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 through
didactic lectures, clinical case scenarios and large amounts of
discussion time for each topic.
Team Physician Consensus Conference
The consensus conference develops a statement by a collaboration of six
major professional associations concerned with clinical sports medicine
issues; they have committed to forming an ongoing project-based alliance
to "bring together sports medicine organizations to best serve active
people and athletes." The organizations are: American Academy of Family
Physicians, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American College
of Sports Medicine, American Medical Society for Sports Medicine,
American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the American
Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine. After creation of the consensus
statement, aggressive dissemination to appropriate audiences will take
place, including simultaneously publishing the statement in the journals
of the respective organizations.
