Curriculum


Residents acquire experience in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal and athletically-related injuries and illness by direct care of patients through the spectrum of age and diagnosis. A longitudinal lecture series and required reading program supplement clinical experiences.


The resident initially evaluates patients who have been referred for multiple sports and exercise related health problems, including injuries and medical problems that may impact exercise. After evaluation, the resident formulates a collaborative treatment plan for these patients and provides follow-up. He/she is responsible for continuing care of these patients. Either Dr. Anderson or Dr. Heiman directly supervise the resident in the Sports Medicine Clinic, and provide direct hands-on teaching of technical procedures. The sports medicine resident is required to attend and participate in surgeries that involve their patients. He/she participates in the outpatient orthopedic procedures (see Weekly Schedule) performed on their patients at all ambulatory sites.


The sports medicine resident is responsible for presenting four one-hour core conferences and one grand rounds presentation per year to the Department of Family Medicine residents and faculty.
