Sports Medicine Advisory Committee

The Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) is a professional group that develops guidelines and recommendations to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of athletes. Comprising healthcare experts, they assess current research and best practices to advise sports organizations on issues like injury prevention, treatment, and safe return-to-play protocols. Their goal is to promote athlete health through evidence-based policies, helping coaches, trainers, and medical providers make informed decisions to minimize risks and support optimal athletic performance.
