SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Rachel B. Brewer, MD was co-awarded the annual Best Case Presentation at the 20th Annual Meeting of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, in Salt Lake City, Utah, held April 30 – May 4, 2011. Dr. Brewer’s case, “Hit Off Balance” was chosen from the 24 cases presented at the Annual Meeting. Her presentation discussed a case of left-sided superior canal dehiscence syndrome, which was traumatically induced during weightlifting in a 21-year-old college football. AMSSM had over 195 cases submitted this year, said Dr. Suzanne Hecht, Chair of the Research Committee. A plaque and a $500 prize are awarded each year to the presentation deemed most outstanding by a review panel of physicians on the Research Committee. Dr. Brewer is a second-year Pediatric Sports Medicine Fellow at the Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
