Join AOSSM, the American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy, American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association as we host a workshop dedicated to the collaborative approach to athlete care.

Sport specialization, athlete development, and current guidelines will be covered. Don’t miss your chance to ask the experts how they care for this special population!
