“Supporting research, knowledge and development in the science of sport.”
The BC Sports Medicine Research Foundation (BCSMRF) was created to promote research and increased knowledge in the field of sport and exercise medicine. Experienced clinicians and scientists at the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre at the University of British Columbia provide leadership to the Foundation.
