International Society of Aquatic Medicine - I.S.A.M.

ISAM made an appearance at the Florida Association of Medical Examiners Conference that was sponsored by the District 7 Medical Examiners Office!

As another ISAM Summer Conference comes to a close, I want to thank everyone who joined us in Grenada for an outstanding week of diving, education, and friendship at the 35th ISAM Summer Conference!

A special thank you to our presenters—Douglas Ebersole, MD, James Fulcher, MD, and Joel Silverstein—for sharing their knowledge and experience throughout the week. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the outstanding staff at True Blue Bay Resort and our incredible dive team from Aquanauts Grenada, whose professionalism and hospitality made the week seamless.

Most of all, thank you to every attendee. The friendships, conversations, and shared experiences are what make the ISAM Summer Conference so special.

Safe travels home, and we look forward to seeing everyone next year in Dominica, July 10–17, 2027!
