President's Message

Dr. Blake Boggess


Dear AOASM Friends,


Thank you for all the good that you are doing in your communities. I would like to highlight AOASM Board members Gillian Wooldridge, DO, FAOASM and Jason Smith, DO, FAOASM for being selected to provide medical coverage for the Lake Placid 2023 FISU Winter World University Games. These games are the largest winter multi-sport collegiate athletic event in the world, and took place in Lake Placid, NY and other nearby locations in the Adirondacks.


The competition took place from January 12 to 22; collegiate athletes from more than 50 countries gathered at the Olympic Alpine Village in Lake Placid to celebrate, compete, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind winter festival experience. These were the 31st Winter World University Games and included competitions in 12 winter sports. Collegiate athletes between the ages of 17 and 25 are eligible to enter, with teams selected by their national university sports federations. Thank you Gillian and Jay for representing Team USA!


Also, AOASM Past Presidents, Rob Franks, DO, FAOASM and William Feldner, DO, FAOASM led the annual meeting of the The Joint Commission on Sports Medicine and Science in Kansas City, MO Feb 10-11. The purpose of the meeting was to make it possible for colleagues from different organizations to get to know one another on a personal level, thereby making future collaboration easier and more productive. There were directors and presidents of over 30 sports, health and fitness academies/ organizations in attendance. Thanks you Rob and William for representing the AOASM so well.


Keep up the great work AOASM and I look forward to seeing you in Anaheim! Please invite a friend and bring your family to join us for our Annual Conference.

Thanks,

Blake
