The Concept
A few things I never liked
about seminars, symposiums, (and the like) ... being there by 8
am (hey, it's Saturday) ... the formal, stuffy atmosphere ... and
walking around with a name tag on me. So these are our the
guidelines: no name tags, we start at 10 am, and sandals are appropriate.
It's the content of the symposium that counts, anyway. And
we hope to clear that hurdle with a casual exchange of useful
information. It is our intention to make this a stress-
free, informal gathering.
The symposium is directed
toward practicing Certified Athletic Trainers and Physical Therapists.
However, the information is definitley applicable to PTA's-- and
students and anyone with a sports medicine interest are certainly
welcome.

Symposium
Background
The process began in July
of 1999 with our first symposium. We put together a skeleton
format ("there weren't a whole lot of extras") and charged a minimal
fee to get the ball rolling. We managed to secure some excellent
speakers and pulled off a successful program. The success of
our first two attempts has led us to our third effort. We have
made the commitment to turning this into an annual event and we are
dedicated to steadily improving and growing this Sports Medicine Gathering.
As nice as all this is,
it doesn't explain our primary motivation for the symposium.
With no offense intended to those of you in the "07" zip code ...
it never seems Sports Medicine Professionals get much priority attention
in South Jersey. Most of the seminars aren't in our zip code
... or it's a long haul to get there, and the darn things always
start too early for a long drive. So our primary motivation
was (and remains): a symposium in the "08" zip code fills a need
to area professionals.

Format
The presentation format
for the symposium will be a straight lecture style. Each presentation
will run approximately 40 minutes and be followed by a 5 minute Q&A
from the audience.
We will allow 5 minute
"mini-breaks" between each lecture while we set up for the next
presentation. We do ask that you return to your seats within
this 5 minute time frame to allow minimal distractions from the
start of the next presentation. The major break will be during
lunch which begins at 1:20pm and will last 45 minutes.
Roundtable
This year we are having a roundtable as the final presentation.
It will feature Dr. Sennett and Dr. Zabinski. This will be very
informal and we will open this up to the audience for questions
on any topic. So come prepared with any questions you've
been "jonesing" to ask an orthopod.

Dress Code
What's our dress code?
Well, actually we don't have one. It's July, it's hot, it's
humid, it's NJ .... for those of us who work in high schools or colleges,
it's the off-season ... so we ask that you dress comfortably.
Our preference? We'd love to see everyone relaxing in shorts,
and t-shirts. Formal, shmormal- that's our mantra.
