About

 

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine was formed in 1991 to fill a void that has existed in sports medicine from its earliest beginnings. The Founders, who were recognized as expert sports medicine specialists realized there were several physician organizations which support sports medicine; however there had not been a forum specific for primary care non-surgical sports medicine physicians. Now comprised of over 2,000 members, the purpose of the AMSSM is to foster a collegial relationship among dedicated, competent sports medicine specialists, to provide a quality educational resource for AMSSM members, other sports medicine professionals, and the general public to advance the discipline of sports medicine through education, research, advocacy and excellence in patient care.
