With 47 years of experience, faculty consisting primarily of clinically practicing physicians, and locations that give you the opportunity to enjoy yourself while receiving the best continuing education, there are many great reasons to attend Northwest Seminars. It also lays out steps to advance tracking physical activity engagement as a key public health priority and underscores the benefits of systematic data collection to drive policy and programming that supports equitable physical activity opportunities across the U.S. Northwest Seminars specializes in continuing medical education conferences. The Physical Activity Alliance (PAA), of which ACSM is a founding member, just released a new report: “Advancing Key Actions to Enhance Physical Activity Surveillance in the United States.” The report summarizes actions taken to advance surveillance in four areas: children and youth, workplace, health care and community support for physical activity. This letter will go to House and Senate leadership and both the House and Senate Chairs and Ranking Members of the Appropriations Labor-HHS-Education Subcommittee. The funding would allow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop an initial system that will collect necessary data to determine the incidence of sports-related concussions. Last month, ACSM joined more than 30 other organizations in signing a letter requesting at least $2 million to fund the National Concussion Surveillance System.
