PRESS RELEASE
American Medical Society for Sports Medicine For Immediate Release Aug 16, 2007		Back
OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS: Dr. Peter Davis in conjunction with Dr. David Ross and the American College of Physicians recently edited the text, “Expert Guide to Sports Medicine”. Published by the American College of Physicians, this book aims to help internal medicine physicians hone their musculoskeletal medicine techniques, improving their abilities to take care of their active patient population. Dr. Davis is the medical director for the Memorial Health Center at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Davis is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and an active member of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine. The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) was organized in 1991 by physicians who recognized the need for an organization within the field of sports medicine that approached athletes, exercising individuals and teams comprehensively with consultative and continuous care of their orthopedic, medical, nutritional and psychosocial issues. Although sports medicine concepts are often thought of in conjunction with professional and elite athletes, these concepts apply to athletes of all levels including grade school, high school, college and recreational athletes. AMSSM is comprised of over 1000 Sports Medicine Physicians whose goal is to provide a link between the rapidly expanding core of knowledge related to sports medicine and its application to patients in a clinical setting. NOTE: For more information, please contact the AMSSM, 11639 Earnshaw, Overland Park, KS 66210, (913) 327-1415.
NOTE: For more information, please contact the AMSSM, 4000 W. 114th St., Suite 100, Leawood, KS 66211, (913) 327-1415.
