Archmere Trainer Jim Malseed to Receive Sports Medicine Award
Archmere Athletic Trainer James Malseed will be presented with the Ted Quedinfeld Award by the Philadelphia Sports Medicine Congress at their annual Symposium and Luncheon on Friday, June 1st, in Philadelphia.
About the award:
The Philadelphia Sports Medicine Congress was originally conceived as an educational program, based at Pennsylvania Hospital. Because Joe Torg and Ted Quedenfeld were such influential icons in the field, it seemed natural to recognize their contributions. It was also felt that it was important to make note of the historical aspects of the origins of "sports medicine" in the area and that is why the Philadelphia Sports Medicine Congress annually pay tribute to Joe and Ted. Each year it seems to give the younger attendees some appreciation of their predecessors.
The purpose of the Torg award as originally conceived was to recognize individual Orthopaedic surgeons primarily in the greater Philadelphia area who devoted their careers to the care of athletes, who participated in the educational process and who have made significant contributions to the body of knowledge of Orthopaedics. These are the qualities that are embodied by Dr. Torg. In similar fashion, as Ted Quedenfeld was responsible for teaching many if not most of the local athletic trainers at one time, and because he was a role model and one that was held in the highest regard by all of his peers and students and because it was he who helped create the model of sports medicine with which the Philadelphia Sports Medicine Congress presently identifies, they chose to honor Ted also.
Nominees are evaluated and chosen by former Quedenfeld Award winners based on the listed criteria.
One of the previous winners of the Quedenfeld Award is AJ Duffy, MPT, ATC parent of Joe Archmere Class of 2008 and Connor Archmere Class of 2009.
