Committee News Update from Gary Ward of the Sports Medicine Athletic Training (SMAT) Department:
I have decided to step down as the southwest Missouri representative on the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee for the Missouri State High School Activities (MSHSAA), a position I was selected for in 1986. I have recommended that Jim Raynor, who is currently on the committee, become the sole southwest region representative. The purpose of the committee is to advise the board of directors for MSHSAA on matters related to the health and safety of high school athletes. The committee is composed of members from throughout the state who are athletic trainers and physicians. Link: http://www.mshsaa.org/SportsMedicine/
