Fellowships - Sports Medicine

Introduction

The Sports Medicine Fellowship involves a one-year experience of intensive post-residency training in disorders specifically related to the injured athlete. The fellowship will be participating in the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) Match process and is ACGME accredited. The goal for this fellowship is to provide the didactic, clinical, and operative experiences necessary for the fellow to become expert in the diagnosis, operative and non-operative treatment, and post-operative rehabilitation of sports related injuries and ultimately, to have the knowledge, skills and ability to contribute to their profession from a clinical and scholarly perspective. The emphasis of the fellowship is equally shared by clinical responsibilities and academic investigation into both clinical and basic science problems. Our interest is in training surgeons who will undertake some form of academic activity after they have finished their fellowship thereby contributing to the knowledge base of Sports Medicine.
