The American Academy of Family Physicians’ initiative Americans In Motion (AIM) seeks to influence the health of all Americans through “fitness” (physical activity, nutrition and emotional well-being). AIM is dedicated to promoting family physicians as fitness role models who serve as key resources for improving fitness among individuals, families and communities. This year, AIM plans to distribute a fitness curriculum inspiring youth to be active, eat smart and feel good about themselves. The school-based curriculum for third and fourth grade will bring together teachers, family physicians, children and their families in local communities across the U.S.
The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) is a multi-disciplinary
organization of physicians whose members are dedicated to education, research,
collaboration and fellowship within the field of Sports Medicine. Founded in 1991, the
AMSSM is now comprised of over 900 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.
As a 50th Partner, AMSSM will continue to promote physical activity and the benefits of an active lifestyle at our annual meeting, May 1-3, as well as spread the word in our memberships' individual practices.
