The Red Jacket Competition
This competition celebrates sports medicine luminaries as they compete for the coveted AOSSM Red Jacket each year at the Annual Meeting. Finalists deliver a short (~5-7 min) presentation on an innovation or technology that has provided high-end and far-reaching impact to their patients. Then, a panel of judges and the audience participate in Q&A. At the close of the session, winners are chosen, and the Red Jacket is awarded.
