International Foundation for Performing Arts Medicine

As little as thirty years ago, not much was understood about the medical problems experienced by those working in the arts. Today there is a specialty area in traditional medicine called Performing Arts Medicine. The International Foundation for Performing Arts Medicine (IFPAM) was founded in 1992 to help performing artists, production professionals, arts educators, and students learn how to prevent performance related injuries, learn about Performing Arts Medicine, to provide programs in injury prevention as well as disseminate medical information. |
