Dr. Marvell Scott Comments on Importance of Professional Development, New Educational Workshops

NEW YORK, NY, June 22, 2012

Inspired by new industry partnerships and product launches, the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) has announced an expansion of the organization's educational programs. According to a new article from The Wall Street Journal, the NASM's Live Events team is preparing to launch a series of workshops for working professionals who want to learn through live activities. Set to begin this summer, the workshops offer a promising chance for new and veteran sports medicine professionals to learn about unexplored topics. Dr. Marvell Scott is a sports medicine expert and a proponent of continuing education; he believes NASM programs should be taken advantage of by every eager student.

The article explains the set of new programs that NASM will provide. The Golf Fitness program, inspired by a previous Golf Fitness Specialist Course offered by NASM, will allow individuals to observe and take part in the related areas of sports medicine that apply to the sport. Although a very different activity, NASM is also prepared to launch its Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning workshop, in response to the successful Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Specialist program that was launched this June.

NASM has a long history of sports medicine education that offers an array of options for students and working professionals alike. The organization has programs that provide certification, bachelor and master degrees. While the above programs are designed to provide continuing education units to students, the article notes that they "pique the interest of health and fitness professionals to expand their current knowledge into areas they may not have been aware."

It is this commitment to continuing education that Dr. Marvell Scott is so adamant about and promotes in his field of medicine. He believes these programs will not only get new professionals more involved, but will also reinvigorate seasoned doctors to observe new trends and approaches in sports medicine. Dr. Marvell Scott makes sure to continually attend a wide array of programs that will further his already established working knowledge. He says, "Continuing education is crucial in the world of Sports Medicine. I personally go to as many seminars across the country as I can to learn the newest techniques in sports prevention and rehabilitation as well as training."

For Dr. Marvell Scott, the most important element of NASM's new workshops is its response to new products, technologies and services. Any medical practitioner who stays aware of these trends is able to provide the best informed care to their patients. Using his own practice as an example, he notes, "Having this knowledge and the newest technology, such as the Power Plate or Alter-G, in our facilities gives us the best edge to give our patients the care they deserve."
