MATA Membership:

 

I would like to personally thank the membership of the MATA for a very successful Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposium at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Rochester, MN on May 18 th and 19 th presented by the Concussion Clinic at Bethesda Hospital and Minnesota Sports Medicine! The theme of this year’s symposium was “General Medical Conditions in an Athletic Population.” This years meeting included a Friday evening workshop on Concussion Evaluation and Management presented by the professional staff at the Concussion Clinic at Bethesda Hospital. The workshop proved to be an outstanding success and we look forward to offering this option to our membership in 2008! The Saturday educational portion of our meeting was also excellent and I would like to thank ALL of our speakers for all the time and energy they placed in presenting to our membership!
