The Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine (CSEM) at Barts and the London School of Medicine<\/a>, Queen Mary University of London, has just held its 30th<\/sup> Anniversary Scientific Meeting. Started by John B King in 1981, CSEM has graduated close to 500 alumni.<\/p>\n

The Diploma Course in Sports Medicine became the Master of Science Course in Sports in 1993, and added \u2018Exercise Medicine\u2019 in the early part of this century. In addition, it started the first Intercalated BSc Course for Medical Students in the UK. We estimate over half the Council Members of the Faculty for Sports and Exercise Medicine of the UK have been graduates of the Course, including the serving President, Matt Batt, and the incoming President, Roderick Jaques.<\/p>\n

Traveling Fellowship of the European College of Sport and Exercise Physicians<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s 30th<\/sup> Anniversary Scientific Meeting was the final stage of the first Traveling Fellowship of the European College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (ECOSEP)<\/a>. Francesco Oliva, an Orthopaedic Surgeon from Rome, Italy, spent three weeks travelling between Barcelona, Thessaloniki, Frankfurt and London. The Travelling Fellowship allowed him to see both Sports Medicine and Sports Traumatology, and, above all, to be exposed to different health care systems and management philosophies.<\/p>\n

Since its inception in 2008, \u00a0through the ideas of another of CSEM graduates, Nikolaos Malliaropoulos, ECOSEP has grown from strength to strength. The incoming Chairperson, Ireland\u2019s Aideen Henry, will take over from John King, and lead more than 150 members until the Frankfurt Congress in 2013.<\/p>\n

CSEM\u2019s 30<\/a>th<\/a><\/sup> Anniversary Scientific Meeting<\/a> opened with talks by John King and various alumni, who spoke about the early history of the current Chair. Also, despite the current climate of shrinking research funding, at any stage more than 50 research projects are in place. In the period 2009 to present, close to 200 peer reviewed articles have been published, securing several million pounds in grant monies in the process.<\/p>\n

I am delighted to share that an Academic Clinical Fellowship in Sports and Exercise Medicine has been secured, to start in the Olympic Year. This will allow a young trainee in Sport and Exercise Medicine to undertake academic training leading to a PhD, and should secure the academic future of the specialty.<\/p>\n

We look forward to CSEM\u2019s 2012 Scientific Meeting, to be held between the Olympics and the Paralympics.<\/p>\n
