LETTER FROM LEADERSHIP Dear IIRM Members and Friends: he IIRM has seen much growth in the past year and, with your support, looks forward to continuing this forward momentum. TAs mentioned in the spring 2019 issue of Endurance and Sports Medicine, the IIRM and International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding through which we will jointly develop training courses and educational seminars over the next two years for medical directors of endurance races and other health care professionals who have an interest in endurance medicine. These will be internationally focused, with courses in the U.S., Tokyo, Doha, Valencia, and Singapore (see the back cover for the calendar of events). I was delighted to present at our first IIRM-IAAF jointly held international conference on July 20th in Tokyo. IIRM Executive Board Member Fumihiro Yamasawa, MD, PhD and Yuri Hosokawa, PhD, ATC, IIRM Ambassador (Japan), also presented at the conference. On October 5th, IIRM Member Rebecca Breslow, MD, will help instruct the workshops being held in Doha, State of Qatar, and on November 9th, IIRM Executive Board Member John Cianca, MD, will present at the conference in Valencia, Spain. Through our partnership with the IAAF we have Yuri Hosokawa, PhD, ATC, leads a workshop on managing exercise-associated heat stroke at the been working closely with Dr. Paolo Emilio Adami, the IAAF Health IAAF-IIRM Emergency Race Medicine Workshop and Science Department Medical Manager. In addition to being a in Tokyo. well-respected sports medicine physician and advocate for providing optimal care for participants of athletic events, Dr. Adami has also become a good friend of the IIRM. We feel fortunate to be collaborating with him to provide worldwide education to health care providers. We also have had a partnership with the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) since 2015. They help to promote our organization and we have been involved in three of their World Congresses, where IIRM speakers have presented on topics of endurance medicine. Starting in September, we will be contributing to the AIMS quarterly magazine Distance Running by reprising classic Running & FitNews articles (from the former American Running Association). We hope to also add some of these articles to the IIRM website when we develop a runners’ portal. In regards to the IIRM website, we have been working with our web developers to re-do the look of the site and make it easier to navigate. Our eventual goal is to add more educational content, the runners’ portal included, and increase the number of video presentations from medical conferences. We would also like to develop a distance learning platform. Unfortunately, these endeavors require funding beyond our means. Therefore, we have initiated an online fundraising campaign. Endurance and Sports Medicine • Summer 2019 3 Some of you may have seen the IIRM fundraiser “Saving the Lives of Endurance Race Participants” on our FaceBook page, or you received an email message announcing the fundraising campaign. Individuals can make donations to the fundraiser on the IIRM FaceBook page or by going to racemedicine.org and clicking on the “Donations” icon on our home page (which links to the IIRM fundraising campaign on imATHLETE). We hope you will consider sharing one or both of these donation pages with your fellow runners and/or colleagues. Having multiple IIRM supporters spread the message is key to our fundraising success! In April, I was one of just over 15 individuals who convened at the Consortium for Military and Health Performance (CHAMP) in Bethesda, Maryland, to review recommended medical algorithms for managing emergencies in mass participation running events. I was honored to represent the IIRM as we dissected and revised protocols for up to 13 medical conditions including exercise-associated collapse, cardiac care, chest pain, hyperthermia, hyponatremia, and hypoglycemia. We are still carefully working through these revisions, as they are Francis O’Connor, MD, MPH, leads a discussion on algorithm revisions for managing exercise- extensive and we want to be thorough. The new algorithms will be associated collapse with race medicine experts unveiled at our Marine Corps Marathon endurance medicine conference including COL Anthony Beutler, MD (left) and on October 26th in a lecture presented by IIRM Advisory Board Member LTC Chad Hulsopple, DO. Francis G. O’Connor, MD, MPH, the chairperson of this revision endeavor. It is our goal to then share these algorithms with races around the world in our efforts to standardize medical care provided at endurance events. So, as we push to continue this forward momentum, I must ask for your support. Members are an important part of any association— after all, you are our “base,” our foundation. Please consider renewing your IIRM membership when you receive expiration notices and, if you are involved in the management of endurance events, please share information about the IIRM Event Membership. We have developed a document explaining the benefits of the event membership and how it can be used to educate medical volunteers and event personnel. If you are interested in receiving the IIRM Event Membership outline, please contact us at [email protected]. Finally, we are always looking for feedback regarding our online materials and educational activities. Is there anything you’d like to see us add to the website? Do you have comments regarding our conferences? We gladly welcome your feedback! Please write to us at [email protected].
