Welcome
Dear Colleagues, Students, and Friends,
On behalf of the 2014 Program Planning Committee, I am thrilled to extend an
invitation for you to join us in Providence for the 42nd Annual Fall Meeting of the
New England Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine! Our
meeting will feature expert national and international faculty to address the
conference theme of Exploring New Frontiers in Sports Medicine. With
speakers from South Africa, Canada and across the United States, the program will
include an array of presentations ranging from common to unique to controversial.
Headlining our program this year are our two Keynote lectures. On Thursday, Dr.
Ross Tucker, a scientist from the University of Cape Town and sports consultant
with teams and federations including the USA Olympic Committee, Great Britain
Olympic Sports Federations, International Rugby Board, South Africa Sevens
Rugby, and South Africa Kayaking, will deliver the Clarkson Lecture. Dr.
Tucker will speak on the subject of bridging the gap between science and practice.
Coming from McMaster University in Ontario to deliver the Knuttgen Lecture
on Friday is Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky, a leading researcher on nutritional, exercise
and pharmacological therapies for neurometabolic and neuromuscular disorders.
In addition, Dr. Tarnopolsky studies the physiological and molecular aspects of
mitochondrial adaptation to exercise, aging and the metabolic syndrome.
New this year is the Student Special Interest Group Session sponsored by the
Camaione Fund. The session titled “What’s Next? Graduate and Career Options”
will be focused on the next step after earning a degree in the exercise sciences.
And we will continue our tradition hosting the NEACSM President’s Reception,
followed by Student Scholarships, Research Awards, and the 11th Annual College
Bowl.
With such diverse program content, we hope to exceed your expectations and
provide you with the opportunity to learn something new. I am profoundly grateful
for the privilege of serving the NEACSM for a second round as President-Elect
and Program Chair and I would like to express my gratitude to our engaged Board
of Trustees and Executive Committee who make the chapter so successful! Thanks
are in order for NEACSM President Sean Walsh for his genuine enthusiasm
toward the chapter. And finally, a special thank you to our Executive Director,
Dino Costanzo, for keeping the Chapter running smoothly over the many years of
his active service!
So make plans to join us in Providence to share knowledge, partake in experiences,
rekindle old friendships, make new ones, and continue to grow in sports medicine!
