Happy Spring! The days are getting longer and the warm spring weather has tempted us in more than a few cities/ towns across the country. I had the pleasure of spending two days in early March, in Ottawa with President - Elect Tatiana Jevremovic and Executive Director Dawn Haworth: it was cold and slushy and not conducive to any sport activity out of doors in my opinion (but then my "sport" was in a dance studio or in summer months on a field or track). However it did not deter us from our end goal, as we went on our annual "Presidential Tour"- an opportunity to reconnect and re- establish relationships with various stakeholders in the sport and exercise medicine "space". We met with a variety of organizations that CASEM works together with at games, in policy advising committees or as affiliate organizations. These meetings gave us the chance to find out what other groups are doing about a variety of topics: concussion, physical activity promotion, mentoring, and novel CPD strategies. They also provided the opportunity to share CASEM's own accomplishments and achievements and to explore interest in mutually relevant projects. On this occasion we also took advantage of the time in Ottawa to connect with local committee chairs/ contacts that are working hard on members behalf’s- communications chair Lindsay Bradley and HEPA board liaison Elizabeth Hobden. We touched base with Helen, the head office CPD coordinator- busy year for CPD-check out the MSK US courses, the Running Workshops and stay tuned for OA workshops! Tatiana and I also learned that the website will soon be much easier to navigate (cheers!), that the Running Injury Clinics are filling up fast, and that registration for Mont- Tremblant is ahead of schedule. I strongly encourage you to check out the preconference courses- space is limited and these courses will be great CPD opportunities. Along with the great conference in June, the AGM and elections for the next Board members will take place. If you have ever wanted to participate and contribute at a more direct level, consider running for a Board position. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with fellow SEM colleagues and play a role in CASEM's future- make sure your CASEM is doing what you think it can and should be doing! So with renewed energy characteristic of this time of year let's Spring Forward! See you in Mont-Tremblant! Until then! Laura Nous avançons l’heure! C’est maintenant le printemps! Les journées s’allongent et les températures chaudes du printemps nous ont tentées dans plusieurs villes à travers le pays. Au début mars j’ai eu le plaisir de passer 2 jours à Ottawa avec notre présidente désignée Tatiana Jevremovic et notre directrice exécutive Dawn Haworth. Il faisait froid et les rues étaient pleines de gadoue – en mon opinion pas particulièrement propice aux sports extérieurs, mais mes sports ont toujours étés dans u studio de danse ou sur une piste d’athlétisme. Par contre ceci ne nous a pas prévenu d’atteindre nos objectifs de notre “tour du Président”: une opportunité de reconnecter et ré-établir nos relations avec nos partenaires dans « l’espace » de la médicine du sport et de l’exercice. Nous avons rencontré plusieurs organisations avec qui nous collaborons soit aux Jeux, en comites de conseils stratégiques ou en tant qu’organisations affiliées. Ces rencontres nous permettent de savoir ce que ces autres organisations font à propos de plusieurs sujets incluant les commotions, la promotion d’activité physique, le mentorat et de nouvelles stratégies d’éducation professionnelle continue. Elles nous permettent aussi de partager nos accomplissements et explorer nos intérêts communs. Nous avons aussi profité de ce temps à Ottawa pour rencontrer des membres locaux de comités qui travaillent fort au nom des membres- la présidente du comité de communications Lindsay Bradley ainsi que notre liaison au conseil HEPA Elizabeth Hobden. Nous avons aussi connecté avec Helen, la coordonnatrice d’éducation professionnelle continue - c’est une année occupée pour elle! Allez-voir les cours d’ultrason musculosquelettique, les séminaires sur les blessures de course et à venir les séminaires sur l’ostéoarthrite! Tatiana et moi avons appris que notre site web sera bientôt plus facile à naviguer (yay!), que les séminaires se remplissent vite et que l’enregistrement pour Tremblant progresse plus rapidement que prévu. Je vous encourage tous à explorer les cours pré-conférence-les places sont limités et ce seront des opportunités d’apprentissage fantastiques. En même temps que notre fantastique conférence sera notre réunion générale annuelle et les élection pour notre prochain Conseil. Si vous avez déjà eu de l’intérêt pour s’impliquer plus intimement considérez joindre le Conseil. C’est une opportunité fantastique de travailler avec vos collègues et de jouer un rôle au sein de notre organisation en s’assurant qu’elle fait ce que vous pensez qu’elle peut et devrait faire! Alors avec un regain d’énergie commun à ce temps de l’année, bondissons vers l’avant! On se revoit à Tremblant! A bientôt! Laura SELECTION COMMITTEE – UPDATE By Committee Chair: Richard Goudie Test event number one: done. We have been working patiently for quite some time to review, update and improve the score sheet, otherwise known as “the Grid”, for Major Games applications. We have also developed a congruent application form allowing the evaluators to assess each application more objectively and with more inter-assessor reliability. The call for applications for the 2018 Commonwealth Games and Winter Olympic Games were the test event. Over 50 applications came through for those events allowing many chances to test our new system. We have found many areas to improve and this will be our next focus. I will list various issues that should be known by each applicant to improve all further applications: • The application form you have filled can always be updated from your computer. It can be resent with new information for all future Game. Unfortunately, due to the improvements we are investigating, it might change before it is known as the “final copy”. • It is imperative that you devote quality time to fill it out in the utmost detail. You only shortchange yourself because in the words of the CMPA:” If you didn’t write it…it didn’t happen.” Which basically means we can’t give you a score. • The members I recruit to help me score each individual application are volunteering their hours for this. It takes a lot of time for us to go through every application. Please be respectful and do not assume it’s an easy job and a quick task. If you decide to not fill any details and state: “Please see CV”, it makes the whole process quite complicated and much more time consuming. Basically, if you don’t think it’s worth your time to fill out this application then it’s not worth ours to spend time sifting through your CV to see what is relevant. • Please understand the inherent hierarchy of Major Games. After a long lull in the desire for volunteering, there is a surge of applications in recent Games. That is positive. The reality is if you have never been part of a multisport Game, have only helped out at a local running race and worked with one of the varsity sports during your fellowship: you will not be selected to be part of the Olympic / Paralympic / Pan Am / Parapan Am / Commonwealth Games core team. Experience in developmental Games is required before a CMO will decide to include you in their HST for the Major Games. We respectfully ask that applicants be selective of the Games they apply for, as we still have to devote time to review your submission. • If you do not have a Diploma of Sport Medicine you cannot apply for any Major Games other than Canada Games and Jeux de la Francophonie, which are considered the developmental Games. • Because the applications precede the Diploma exam, don’t submit your application stating you are “sitting the examination this year”.
