A Note from Teri McCambridge, MD, FAAP, CAQSM - Chair, Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness

Welcome to the AAP Council on Sports medicine and Fitness new improved website featuring helpful links and information for the medical student, resident, or well-established pediatrician.  The new website houses information on the sports medicine fellowship application and programs, lists sports medicine electives available across the country, and a case of the month.  For the established general pediatrician it offers online copies of the COSMF newsletter, the Pre-participation Monograph form, notification of upcoming sports medicine meetings in your area, and a link to new tools or resources.  Finally, if you check around our web site you will see how we can help you link not only within the AAP, but to the sports medicine community and beyond...
