OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS:  Dr. David Ross in conjunction with Dr. Peter Davis and the American College of Physicians recently edited the text, “Expert Guide to Sports Medicine”. Published by the American College of Physicians, this book aims to help internal medicine physicians hone their musculoskeletal medicine techniques, improving their abilities to take care of their active patient population.

Dr. Ross is a team physician for Wilkes University and for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers. He is also a fellow of the American College of Physicians and is an active member of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine.

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) was organized in 1991 by physicians who recognized the need for an organization within the field of sports medicine that approached athletes, exercising individuals and teams comprehensively with consultative and continuous care of their orthopedic, medical, nutritional and psychosocial issues. Although sports medicine concepts are often thought of in conjunction with professional and elite athletes, these concepts apply to athletes of all levels including grade school, high school, college and recreational athletes. AMSSM is comprised of over 1000 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.
