At the University of South Florida, research and clinical faculty from across departments and colleges have met since 2008 to unite intersecting interests. The Collaborative invites community experts and practitioners to work together toward promoting Performing Arts Medicine research and practice.
USF-PAMC held the first, second, third, and fourth Southeast Regional Conferences in March 2014, 2015, June 2018, and March 2022. The USF conferences drew internationally renowned keynote speakers, health professionals, artists, practitioners, and educators from the region, the nation, and abroad. These conferences' high visibility and success have demonstrated USF’s leadership in this multidisciplinary collaboration of the arts, medicine, and research in performing arts medicine. The International PAMA recognized USF-PAMA with the 2017 PAMA Service Award. A significant publication, Perspectives in Performing Arts Medicine: A Multidisciplinary Approach (Springer Publishers, Inc. 2020) has become a high demand new literature in the field.
We are pleased to announce the upcoming Fifth USF-PAMA Conference on March 8-10, 2024.
