Sports Medicine: Websites

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) is a professional organization specifically geared towards physicians and medical practitioners in the field of sports medicine. The AMSSM was formed in 1991 to fill a void that has existed in sports medicine from its earliest beginnings. The founders realized that while there were several physician organizations which supported sports medicine, there was not a forum specific for primary care non-surgical sports medicine physicians. This organization seeks to fill that void through education, research, advocacy, patient care, communications, infrastructure, and collaboration.
