ASHEVILLE, N.C. – It's a truly collaborative effort, and that's exactly what they want the event to be for years to come because that's what it is all about.
In fact, the 2018 Big South Conference Health Summit held on the campus of UNC Asheville in the Ingles Mountain View Room in the Sherrill Center Monday, May 7 and Tuesday, May 8, has been in the works for well over nine months.
This year's Big South Conference Health Summit is just the second of the now annual event, but since it was announced it was coming to Asheville last year, Mission Sports Medicine and UNC Asheville have been working hard to make sure it was a first-class event.
"We wanted to be able to get everyone together to have a great opportunity for more education and a great networking event," program coordinator Michael Hodges of Mission Sports Medicine said. "It's about getting them all together in the same room and focusing in on topics that impact their day-to-day clinical care so that they can make good clinical decisions."
The event officially commenced on Sunday, May 6, with a social gathering at Salvage Station before a full day of programs covering for example the latest in nutrition in athletes, sports psychology, ultrasound imaging, blood flow restriction, arthroscopy and operative and non-operative treatments for various sports injuries on Monday, May 7.
One of the doctors with Mission Sports Medicine who works extensively with UNC Asheville, Dr. Marc Haro really appreciated the opportunity to have this truly collaborative experience.
"I think it's good that Mission Sports Medicine, all of our athletic trainers and physicians have come together to help educate not only our athletic trainers in the community here, but also of the athletic trainers in the Big South Conference," Haro said. "This is a relatively new event in that this is the second year that we are having it, and hopefully we're able to expand this education and knowledge year after year and keep everybody up with the latest in sports medicine."
UNC Asheville Director of Athletics Janet R. Cone like Haro is appreciative of the opportunity for this tremendous event to be held in Asheville.
"Our relationship with Mission Sports Medicine allows us to have one of the top-notch situations in college athletics in regards to student-athlete care," Cone said. "I am thankful that the Big South Conference considers this a priority so that others within the conference can learn some of the things we are doing at UNC Asheville, while also at the same time we can learn new things as well."
