London, UK: <\/strong><\/span><\/i>The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Andy Baldwin as its first Medical Director. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Baldwin, a seasoned family medicine physician and long-standing triathlete, is described by PTO\u2019s Chief Events Officer, Patrick Byerly, as \u201ca perfect fit\u201d for the role.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Baldwin brings extensive experience from his medical career in the US Navy, where he trained as a physician and served at the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery in Washington, D.C. In this role, he acted as a spokesman and advocate for Navy Medicine and assisted the U.S. Surgeon General with the Healthy Youth for a Healthy Future program. Dr. Baldwin also advocated for the Let\u2019s Move<\/em> Campaign, led by former First Lady Michelle Obama. As an accomplished triathlete, Dr. Baldwin has been selected five times for the All-Navy triathlon squad and has qualified and competed in the Ironman World Championships in Kona five times.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>The care of our athletes is paramount,\u201d said Patrick Byerly. \u201cWe are thrilled that Andy has decided to join us. His international health experience and deep knowledge of triathlon make him an ideal fit. He brings considerable dynamism and expertise from a career that has seen him work globally. Andy is already on board and was instrumental as part of the PTO team delivering the San Francisco<\/em><\/strong> T100<\/strong><\/em> races earlier this month.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his new role, Dr. Baldwin will oversee the coordination and implementation of PTO\u2019s Medical Team programs, ensuring uniformity in the execution of the PTO\u2019s medical plan and continuity of care and service across all events. He will also collaborate closely with World Triathlon to align PTO\u2019s policies, procedures, and protocols with those of the global triathlon community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the military, you learn to be a leader in addition to a physician,\u201d said Dr. Baldwin. \u201cI am excited to lead the medical team at the PTO, helping to establish and build the new T100 Triathlon World Tour<\/em><\/strong> at the pinnacle of the sport. The PTO\u2019s work with professional athletes as co-owners of the business and its mission to elevate long-distance triathlon to mainstream status is inspiring. I witnessed this firsthand in San Francisco, where we had some incredible racing set against an iconic backdrop.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a dedicated sportsman, Dr. Baldwin is a strong advocate for promoting health and fitness. He has been featured in Men\u2019s Health Magazine, Runner\u2019s World, and GQ Magazine, and has been recognised for his humanitarian work with the Competitor Magazine\u2019s \u2018Humanitarian of the Year\u2019 award.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
