SPORTS MEDICINE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEETING MINUTES
11/29/2007
Members present: Colleen Shannon, Nancy Fogel, Brenda Black & Kirsten Harvey
Meeting began @ 12:10 with introductions as Colleen Shannon and Nancy Fogel attended their first meeting. Welcome to them! This included an overview of our programs and the purpose of Advisory Boards.
Discussion of employment trends in nursing and physical therapy. Both are experiencing shortages, which will only increase as baby boomer retire and also need more care at the same time. Physical therapy also will require an advanced degree above the masters’ degree in the next few years, which may decrease the available pool of therapists.
Overview of the 2 year plan was given with plans to get more in-depth next meeting when the new members have had to study it.
Discussion of future meeting times concluded with the decision to keep the meetings at Noon for the rest of this year.
Meeting was adjourned at 1:10.
Next meeting: Friday, Jan 11, 2008, Noon, The Center
