President’s Note
Hello, I hope you all had a great summer and are enjoying a fruitful
Fall season. To those of you just returning from a major games
congrats on a job well done, and to those just going, good luck!
A lot has been happening at CASEM. We had a small, but very fun
and successful annual symposium in St. John‟s. Special thanks to
Ean Parsons our host and local “flavour” as well as the organizing
Dr. Bruce Davidson CASEM
President 2011-2012
committee and national office for all their efforts. We saw several
new faces give fantastic lectures and I heard several people mention that they don‟t remember when they had so much fun. One member, who
shall remain nameless, was heard to say “I have not been hung-over for 20 or 30 years
but…..”
The National office has been very busy with the very successfully run exam recently
in Ottawa, thanks to the credentials committee, external examiners and simulated
patients, the Canadian military for the use of the Montfort Hospital facility, and
Darrell Menard for all the hard work put in. The exam appeared to run very
smoothly and we wish all the candidates well. It is a very interesting experience to
be an examiner, and a great opportunity to learn and be exposed to new CASEM
members. We truly are a diverse group.
CASEM has been approached to have a presence at a meeting to develop a revamped Canadian Sport Policy, which is the first time we have had any recognition
or input when formulating a National policy. Interestingly the policy is going to be
developed after ~18 months of “town hall type meetings” held across the country
polling local, municipal, provincial and National sport and exercise organizations on
their thoughts on the role of sport and exercise in Canadian society. All surveys
rated “health or health related benefits” in their top 3 reasons to participate. We
will attempt to capitalize on this in the policy development, getting sport and exercise medicine mentioned as frequently as is appropriate, as the policy may well have
ramifications in terms of funding in the future.
We are also working hard on a Concussion Online CME module with the CMA,
and will be hosting a “think tank” meeting in early December in Ottawa with several interest groups on next steps in concussion education. Invited groups include
CPS, CAEP, CPA, Concussion consensus group, Think First Canada among others.

President’s Note continued…
The Symposium committee is working hard on the upcoming meetings including Whistler in 2013, the
world congress in Quebec City in 2014 and possibly a Pan-Am congress type meeting in 2015 in or
around Toronto.
The specialty status group has some great news coming our way shortly, congrats to Merrilee Zetaruk
and Lisa Fischer for all of their hard efforts on this important process.
All of these things suggest to me that we are beginning to be recognized as the “Sport and Exercise
medicine” expert group, which I believe strongly we are. While all of these things are great in terms of
outside recognition, I want to focus on inside recognition,-a sort of regrouping if you will, as we have
roughly doubled in numbers in the last 5 years. Doug Dittmer would always mention the importance
of “member benefits” when discussing new initiatives and I think this is essential. I want to ensure that
we remain the strong collegial group that we all know and love as we are expanding to ensure the true
character of CASEM remains intact. I want to ask what can we, as members, offer our other members
and how can we get to know and utilize better the resources we already have.
For some of us CASEM is simply a place to get the Diploma, and then apply for games. This is only a
very small part of what we can and should be doing for each other. I never fail to learn something
when interacting with CASEM members of all types, and I am looking for ways for more member interactions. Do not be alarmed if you get an email from me asking about yourself, and any input you might
have. You will also see some new goofy sections in the Newsletter and we will try some new ideas at
the annual symposia that involve wine, and getting to meet various committee members.
Lastly I would also strongly suggest you pencil in June 20-23 for the annual scientific symposium in
Kelowna. We are just finalizing the scientific and social programs but I can tell you we have a very interesting academic program and a lot of fun planned in an effort to continue where St John‟s left off.
We will be deep in the heart of wine country in the Delta Grand hotel right on the lakeshore in
Kelowna (a non- stop flight from Toronto for all you Easterners), a very short distance from several
wineries, great golf, and lots of great family activities. The hotel is magnificent, elaborate and large, but
the meeting facilities will allow us to have an intimate feel as we will be the only group in the conference center at that time. We hope to see you and your families all there.
Yours Sincerely,

Le mot du président
Bonjour tout le monde,
Dr Bruce Davidson, président ACMSE 2011-2012
J'espère que vous avez tous passé un bel été et vous vous réjouissez du bon temps de l’automne. Pour ceux et
celles qui sont de retour des jeux majeurs - félicitations pour un travail bien fait, et pour ceux et celles qui viennent d’y partir, bonne chance! Beaucoup s’est passé à l’ACMSE ces derniers mois. Nous avons eu une petite, mais
quand même une conférence annuelle amplement réussie à St. John’s TN. Un gros merci spécial à notre hôte Dr
Ean Parsons, notre spécialiste local, ainsi que le comité organisateur et le bureau national pour tous leurs efforts.
Nous avons vu plusieurs nouveaux visages animer des lectures fantastiques et j'ai entendu plusieurs personnes dire
qu’ils ne se souviennent plus la dernière fois qu’ils ont eu autant de plaisir. J’ai entendu dire, d’une membre qui
demeure anonyme »Je n’ai pas viré une brosse comme celle-là depuis 20 ou 30 ans...»
Le bureau national a été très occupé avec l’examen du diplôme de médecine du sport et de l’exercice qui a eu
lieu récemment à Ottawa. L’examen était une réussite grâce aux efforts collaborés du comité d’accréditation, les
examinateurs qui se sont impliqués, les patients simulés et le militaire qui nous a permis l’utilisation des installations de l'hôpital Montfort. Nous remercions spécialement Dr Darrell Menard pour tout le travail accompli. L'examen semblait dérouler de façon très efficace et nous souhaitons à tous les candidats une bonne réussite. Être un
examinateur est une expérience très intéressante et une grande opportunité d'apprendre et d'être exposé aux
membres de l’ACMSE. Nous sommes vraiment un groupe diversifié.
L’ACMSE a été approché pour sa présence à une réunion sur l’élaboration sur l’adaptions de la politique canadienne du sport. C’est la première fois que l’ACMSE a reçu une invitation à la table pour une politique nationale.
La nouvelle politique va être développée après environs 18 mois de «réunions de ville en ville» à travers le pays,
des sondages locaux, municipaux et provinciaux d'organisations nationales de sport de leurs réflexions sur le rôle
du sport et de l'exercice dans la société canadienne.
Nous travaillons également sur un module EMC en ligne sur la commotion cérébrale avec l'AMC. Nous planifierons une réunion avec différentes groupes intéressés dans la prévention des commotions cérébrales au début du
mois de décembre à Ottawa.
Le comité du congrès annuel travaille vigoureusement sur les réunions à venir, y compris Whistler en 2013, le
congrès mondial à Québec en 2014 et, vraisemblablement, un congrès Pan AM en 2015 dans les alentours de
Toronto.

Le mot du president - suite
Le comité de statut de spécialité nous annoncera de bonnes nouvelles prochainement! Félicitations à Merrilee
Zetaruk et Lisa Fischer pour tous leurs efforts sur cet important développement.
Toutes ces choses me font penser que l'on commence à être reconnu comme le group d’experts dans le «sport et
la médecine d'exercice» qui, je crois fermement, nous sommes. Je veux m'assurer que nous restons un groupe
collégial d’abord et je veux vous demander ce que vous pensez que nous pouvons offrir à nos membres, et comment nous pouvons apprendre à mieux utiliser les ressources dont nous disposons déjà.
Pour certains d'entre nous ACMSE est tout simplement un endroit pour obtenir le diplôme de médecin du sport et
pour appliquer pour des jeux. Ce n'est qu'une petite partie de ce que nous pouvons faire. Ne soyez pas surpris si
vous recevez un courriel de moi avec des questions sur vous-même. Nous avons aussi des nouvelles idées pour
les Nouvelles de l’ACMSE et pour la réception de la conférence à Kelowna.
Enfin je voudrais également vous suggérer fortement de noter la date du 20-23 juin 2012. C’est la date de la
conférence annuelle de Kelowna CB. Nous sommes en train de finaliser le programme scientifique et social. Je
peux vous dire que nous avons un programme académique très intéressant et beaucoup de divertissement prévu
dans un effort de continuer là où nous sommes restés après St. John’s. Nous serons en plein cœur du pays du vin
et notre conférence sera dans l’hôtel Delta Grand Okanagan Kelowna au bord du lac (un vol direct de Toronto),
une courte distance de plusieurs caveaux à vin, du golf, et beaucoup d’activités pour toute la famille. L'hôtel est
large et magnifique mais nous permettra quand même d'avoir une ambiance intime. Nous espérons de vous voir
tous à Kelowna.
Cordialement,

Strong Sport Medicine Presence at Family Medicine Forum in Montreal November 4-5, 2011
Dr. Andrew Pipe gave a keynote address entitled "The Heart of the Matter: Preventing Cardiovascular Disease in 2011 and Beyond". Sport Medicine had 2 half-day sessions in the program. Concussion in Sport proved to be very popular, so much so that
a new room was found half way through the sessions to accommodate the demand as
there was no more seats or floor space for the delegates interested. The next morning there were sessions on Anti-Doping, Paralympics, Ankle Injuries and Non-Surgical
Management of OA. Once again, extremely popular, delegates were turned away for
the musculoskeletal topics. There were two additional sessions in French as well.
CASEM members speaking at these FMF sessions were Drs L.isa Fischer, Pierre Fremont, Janice Harvey, Renata Frankovich, Susan Labrecque, Alan Vernec, and André
Roy.

CASEM MEMBERSHIP UPDATE FOR 2012
NEW CASEM Membership FEES for 2012!
For the first time in 17 years CASEM members will see a small increase in the cost of their
annual membership subscription.
As the President has outlined in his own report to you, CASEM has grown exponentially
over the past 10 years almost doubling its membership – with that growth has come challenges and new opportunities for CASEM and its members. Whilst the challenge remains of
working within a finite budget, CASEM has worked hard to capitalize on new opportunities.
New CME Opportunities
CASEM continues to provide high quality CME and outside of its growing annual scientific
program, CASEM has developed several new courses and workshops including the CASEM/
FIMS Team Physician Development Course, the Advanced Sport Medicine, the Timely Topic
series on Osteoarthritis and Anti-Doping Course as well as the FIMS Instructor Course.
New courses and workshops continue to be developed and 2012 will see the launch of a
Running Injuries‟ Timely Topic, a one-day pre-conference workshop on Sideline Emergencies
and a one-day workshop on Endurance Sport Medicine.
Formal Recognition of Sport & Exercise Medicine
Sport & Exercise Medicine (SEM) is now recognized formally by both Colleges. Strong lobbying efforts over the past 10 years have paid off. By 2012, SEM will be recognized by the
RCPSC through their new Diploma program and the CFPC earlier this year recognized
SEM as an area of focussed practice - this month CASEM funds supported SEM speaker
costs at the Family Medicine Forum in Montreal. CASEM will continue to work with both
specialty and family medicine as we move into 2012 and beyond.
13 SEM Fellowship/PGY 3 programs are now offered in 8 medical schools across Canada.
Page 11
CASEM Newsletter/Nouvelles ACMSE
Diploma in Sport and Exercise Medicine
CASEM continues to administer the Diploma in Sport Medicine (Dip. Sport Med) and
Canada now has over 500 credentialed physicians across the country.
A new CASEM HQ
The Head Office has moved and now joins the Sport and Information Resource Centre
(SIRC) in downtown Ottawa. This exposes CASEM further to sport related organizations
- more recently, CASEM was invited to participate in the federal 2012 Canadian National
Sport Policy consultations, and we continue to work side by side with both our sport
partners and medical organizations to ensure sport & exercise medicine is truly represented.
CASEM is hiring – 2012 will see the hiring of part-time communication/marketing staff to
work with the new website and coordinate CASEM‟s evolving social media programs.
The new membership fees as per January 1, 2012 will be:
Active Member
$350
Post Grad/Resident/Fellow
$225
Retired Members
$225
Our medical student member fee will remain at $25.00
Our promise to you is that we will continue to work hard and provide accountability for
every membership dollar we spend.
Thank you for understanding - this increase means that we can continue to maintain the
superior standard of CASEM and its services for the coming years.
Dawn Haworth,
Executive Director, CASEM

A Call to the Masses!
As chairman of the Team Physician committee I have been searching for a way to engage all
“team physicians” who may or may not attend TPC meetings or even a CASEM conference.
I feel the “raison d‟être‟ of our committee is to supply a forum for discussion of issues that
effect our group, as well as a source of mentorship to new team physicians as they develop
their experience and skill set. To that end I am asking all CASEM members to send me
their sources (books, courses, and resource people) of information that have been helpful
in their development.
Examples would be: tips on travel, equipment, and pearls to handle difficult situations away
from home. Do not worry if you think it is general knowledge, send me the info and I will
screen the results and pass the information to other committees (Team Physician Education Committee) and may include them in other articles in the CASEM Newsletter.
I know that I learn new things every time I come in contact the CASEM group, let‟s pass
these gems on!

Dr. Erika Persson, MD,
Dip. Sport Med.
Letter from A Future Colleague
The Canadian Pediatric Society has an annual bursary provided to trainees wanting to pursue
an elective in pediatric sport medicine. This year‟s recipient was Eric Koelink, a Toronto Pediatric Emergency Fellow and he completed time with Drs Purcell and Peterson at McMaster
University. Below is a letter describing Eric‟s elective time and I feel that it is a nice example
of how the field of Pediatric Sport medicine is growing here in Canada.
“I would like to thank the Canadian Paediatric Society‟s Sports and Exercise Medicine Section
for providing me with the opportunity to pursue an elective in the field of paediatric sports
medicine. Over my four weeks working at the David Braley Athletic Centre at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, I was able to see a wide spectrum of both paediatric and adult
sports medicine patients. The D.B.A.C. also had on-site physiotherapy and access to x-rays and
MRI through McMaster University Medical Centre, making it a convenient service for facilitating the assessment and management of sports injuries. My time was spent in the outpatient
setting, working with two inspirational physicians with different training backgrounds.
Page 15
CASEM Newsletter/ Nouvelles ACMSE
Dr. Laura Purcell is a paediatric emergency medicine physician and diplomat of the Canadian
Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine (CASEM). She is also the current president of the
Paediatric Sports Medicine and Exercise Section for the CPS. Working with her was a thoroughly rewarding and invaluable experience, and I hope to emulate not only her academic
qualifications but also her professionalism, compassion and expertise.
Over the span of four weeks an eclectic patient population presented to her clinic, with ankle
sprains, Sever‟s apophysitis, ACL tears, concussions and stress fractures incurred in a variety of
recreational and competitive athletic settings. With each case Dr. Purcell demonstrated appropriate assessment techniques and talked through the salient points impacting her approach to
diagnosis. As a learner, I appreciated the time taken to explain the rationale behind certain
clinical decisions, and will use this model for future practice. The majority of patients were
managed with various braces and physiotherapy. However, for those more complicated cases,
we were fortunate to have a surgeon available for referrals in the same clinic.
Dr. Devin Peterson is an orthopedic surgeon who also works out of the David Braley Athletic
Centre, seeing both paediatric and adult sports medicine patients. In his busy clinics we saw a
(naturally) more surgery-oriented clientele, with cases of ACL tears, SLAP lesions, rotator cuff
tears and dislocated shoulders with Bankart or Hill-Sachs lesions. Radiologic findings on x-ray,
ultrasound and MRI were reviewed and relevant anatomy discussed in detail to better distinguish pathology from normal appearance. Dr. Peterson‟s proficiency and attention to detail set
a high standard which I sought to uphold in my clinical encounters. I truly appreciated the time
and effort Dr. Peterson put into reviewing each case and discussing its management going forward.
Page 16
CASEM Newsletter/Nouvelles ACMSE
With the help of two superb teachers and the CPS Sports and Exercise Medicine Section,
my confidence in assessing and managing sports-related injuries in both the paediatric and
adult populations has improved tremendously.
I plan to put this new-found knowledge to good use as I pursue my fellowship training in
paediatric emergency medicine at the Hospital for Sick Children. I also plan on completing
a fellowship in sports medicine through CASEM, allowing me to continue practice in this
growing field and to work with such highly qualified colleagues as Drs. Purcell and Peterson.”

WADA Releases Educational
Tool Kit For Sport Physicians
WADA has produced a new tool kit to help sports physicians develop anti-doping education programs which can be adapted and customized to suit local cultures, conditions and
resources.
The „Sport Physician‟s Tool Kit‟ is available via the WADA website and will serve as an important aid for doctors across the world in their efforts to enhance knowledge of the
risks involved in doping in sport.
It was produced in collaboration with a number of specialists in sport and medicine,
whose expertise ranges from gene doping to medical ethics.
“Physicians have an ever-increasing role to play in sport across the world and they now
have a comprehensive manual to understand the anti-doping process,” said WADA Medical Director Alan Vernec.
“Education is a crucial element in WADA‟s fight against doping in sport, and we are confident the Tool Kit will assist physicians in their efforts to ensure that athletes and their entourage make the right decisions. “
The Sport Physician‟s Tool Kit includes sections on ethics in medicine, the health consequences of doping and the doping control process. There is also a chapter dedicated to
the Prohibited List and Therapeutic Use Exemptions.
The remaining sections focus on the Athlete Biological Passport, gene doping, and a series
of practical issues and case studies to stimulate dialogue between experts using the Tool
Kit for training professionals.

This Summer CASEM received a visit from three medical students from the Korean National
Sport University Seoul, South Korea. The happy students had a great visit in Canada among
others at the University of Ottawa and Carleton U sport medicine clinics. They went home
with lots of impressions of Canada and a great CASEM Running Shirt. The very techno savvy
students created a video presentation from their trip in Canada and the visits to the various
medical institutions - have a look http://prezi.com/j0ohyyp1lmho/global-challenge-axis/
