The AMSSM Annual Meeting, with the theme “Rising to the Challenge”, will cover many important sports medicine topics such as health equity, concussion, updates in multiple musculoskeletal topics, diagnostic imaging, ultrasound, biomechanics, lifestyle medicine, mental health, the team physician’s role in today’s climate as well as the importance of physician support and wellness. Through the content of the AMSSM Annual Meeting, we are hoping to challenge the attendees to consider the importance of various factors in the diagnosis and management of patients such as age, sport, workload, adaptive needs, environmental factors, biomechanics and associated conditions such as rheumatologic, bone or hypermobility disorders. We will challenge our attendees to consider adjacent anatomy, alternative imaging options and lifestyle factors when making diagnoses, and explore how ultrasound-guided procedures, exercise, nutrition, technology and various recovery modalities can be used in the treatment model. We expect attendees to leave our Annual Meeting ready to apply new lessons learned about mentorship, leadership and professional development. Furthermore, we hope the AMSSM Annual Meeting will provide an opportunity for sports medicine clinicians to reflect on issues brought to light by the pandemic and support our members and colleagues in ‘Rising to the Challenge’.
