The generation of the Second Edition of Primary Care Sports Medicine mercifully did not take the same amount of time as the generation of the First Edition. As editors, it was our intent to update and replicate all of the strong points of the First Edition.
This book remains organized in a similar fashion to the First Edition. However, where the First Edition had two authors, the Second Edition has two editors and many authors. By necessity, a number of different writing styles are present when compared to the First Edition, as this is a compilation work. However, there is a common thread—most of the authors of this text book are graduates or faculty of the Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Program at Michigan State University, University of Pittsburgh, or Indiana University.
Our goals for this book have not changed from its pre-decessor. We continue to hope that it will serve as a compendium of how to do things right in sports medicine. We have continued to emphasize the concepts of prevention and rehabilitation.
The book continues to take a philosophical approach to Sports Medicine and should not be thought of purely as a reference work. In order for a physician to work within his or her profession, he/she needs a philosophical approach. This remains extremely important in the area of Primary Care Sports Medicine. We feel this book emphasizes such important points.
We want to take this opportunity to thank our colleagues for all the support they have provided us through the years in the field of Sports Medicine. This is especially true for our “learners”—students, residents, and fellows—that have honored us with their interest and enthusiasm for Primary Care Sports Medicine. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we'd like to thank the athletes who have served not only as our patients, but as our teachers.
Special acknowledgment needs to be given to many people including those mentioned in the Preface to Edition 1. Others include: Jim Moriarity, MD; Steve Simons, MD; Al Tomchaney, MD; Mark Walsh, MD; John Downs, DO; Matthew Roush, MD; Harry Galanty, MD; William “Sandy” Quillen, PT; John L. Turner, MD; Jim Herndon, MD; Donald B. Middleton, MD.
We are grateful to several people who helped make this book possible. At Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a phenomenal job of organizational prodding and editing was done by Jenny Koleth. She definitely set a high standard and this text is a tribute to her effort. At the American College of Sports Medicine, D. Mark Robertson, Assistant Executive Vice-President, was instrumental in giving this project direction and encouragement. Finally, thanks to the ACSM Medical Education Committee Review Panel, chaired by Sandra Hoffman, MD, for providing timely overview and suggestions concerning text accuracy.
Medicine is facing enormous challenges today. Sports Medicine is not immune from these challenges. Integrated holistic care of the athlete is no longer a model, but an expectation. Exercise, the most powerful provocateur of health known to mankind has been recognized as such. The job of teaching our colleagues is not done.
It is our hope that this book provides a complete look at the field of Sports Medicine, both philosophically and contextually.
PS: The sophistication of Sports Medicine has grown since the First Edition of this book was published. The Sports Medicine Certificate of Added Qualification [CAQ] is now basically recognized as a subspecialty of the American Boards of Family Practice, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and, most recently, physical medicine and rehabilitation. The establishment of the Sports Medicine CAQ offers consumers of sports medicine care a quality assurance heretofore not seen. This book continues to use an updated and amended version of the curriculum upon which the CAQ is based.
