I just returned from speaking at the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Dallas. I really enjoyed it, and I met so
many terrific people who work in sports medicine. Hopefully I can share some of what I learned and introduce you to some of the people I met here soon!
Let’s get to some terrific articles and books!
