PAMA Webinar Presentations
PAMA Young Professionals is a Committee of PAMA which aims to increase and deepen both arts and health student and young professional engagement in performance arts medicine through a range of initiatives. We are promoting a new webinar series which aims to improve knowledge and provide education about Performing Arts Medicine (PAM), exploring how PAM concepts can be incorporated into music programs, how young professionals can get more involved in PAM, as well as research based webinars and journal clubs to support young professionals engaged in PAM research.

Annual PAMA International Symposium Updates
Due to the continued uncertainty about the Covid-19 pandemic as well as vaccine availability, we are taking a different approach to the 2021 Symposium. We will be conducting the symposium as a “hybrid” conference with a live face-to-face component in New York at Weill Cornell for a limited number of the presentations and participants. The remainder of the presentations will be presented virtually via a robust online platform. Those presentations taking place live in New York will be live streamed to all symposium participants. The symposium will take place June 24 - 27, 2021.
A note to our submitting authors - we realize you are anxiously awaiting your notifications regarding the symposium. Because of the unique platform being created for 2021, we are delayed in sending notifications. We hope to have these out next week.
