Academics and Research

One of the reasons UPMC Sports Medicine has earned international acclaim is the unique role research plays in sports medicine care. Through our vibrant research program, UPMC experts offer patients:

  • Clinical outcomes research that teaches sports medicine specialists the practices and treatments most likely to help patients
  • Clinical trials with the opportunity to benefit from the newest investigational therapies
  • Clinicians who are attuned to research news, and who can direct patients to the latest breakthroughs
  • A strong program that attracts some of the best and brightest sports medicine specialists throughout the world
  • A chance for treatment options when patients have been told elsewhere they are “untreatable”
