In 2020, the NBA Bubble set a gold standard for workplace safety by providing professional athletes with immediate access to top-tier physicians and advanced healthcare. What if injured maritime industry workers could benefit from the same level of care? In this session, we will explore how the NBA’s healthcare model can be adapted to improve worker injury management, accelerate recovery, and reduce long-term disability.

Drawing on insights from the NBA’s approach, Dr. Nwachukwu will demonstrate how elite medical access leads to better outcomes for workers in high-risk industries. Through AEU’s partnership with Best In Class MD, these premium services are now available to ALMA members, ensuring that injured workers receive exceptional care. Join us to learn how this innovative model is transforming workplace injury management and helping employees return to work faster and healthier.

At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Understand how the NBA Bubble established a safe and high-quality healthcare environment for athletes during COVID-19.
• Identify key components of elite athlete healthcare, including access to top-tier physicians and concierge services.
• Learn how these principles can enhance workplace injury management in the maritime industry.
