I’m speaking at the American College of Physicians Annual Meeting today in Boston. I’ve spoken at their meeting several times, and I love 
them. It’s always great to have 800-1000 primary-care physicians interested in learning more about sports medicine.
I love public speaking and want to improve. Do you have any speaking courses or resources you would recommend? Click here to share your ideas with me!
Here are some articles I really enjoyed. I hope they are helpful for you!
