On this episode of the AMSSM Sports Medcast, host Dr. Jeremy Schroeder, DO, is joined by Dr. Erin Hammer, MD, MPH, who received the Best Overall Research Award at the 2024 AMSSM Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD.
The study focused on the use of Guardian Caps and whether they were associated with a lower risk of sport-related concussion (SRC) during practices and games among high school football players.
In this conversation, Dr. Hammer discusses her award-winning research, which was recently published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, and also shares her personal advice for those looking to get more involved in scholarly research.
Registration is now open for the 2025 AMSSM Annual Meeting in Kansas City, which takes place from April 22-27. Learn more and register now at annualmeeting.amssm.org.
