Program Highlights
Our 5th Annual Running Medicine conference focuses on moving research
results into practice. Friday morning's presentations examine medical
issues such as GI complications and other medical masqueraders that
interfere with performance. Friday afternoon, Dr. Michael Fredericson's
keynote address sets the stage for a series of presentations on
musculoskeletal injuries and evidence-based approaches to care. New
research is the focus of Saturday's session. Dr. Joseph Hamill will
provide a keynote address and moderate a discussion of six current
research efforts.
Individuals engaged in current research are encouraged to submit running
related abstracts for presentation as a poster or lecture/discussion.
Students especially are encouraged to submit their work. Up to six
manuscripts will be accepted for a 15 minute presentation and 5 minute
question and answer session. Posters will be on display throughout the
conference and recognized in the conference syllabus.

Rules for Submission
