The UPMC in central Pa. sports medicine fellowship offers a hybrid longitudinal/block curriculum. The longitudinal portion of the curriculum includes sports medicine, orthopaedics, and a role as team physician at a local high school. Block rotations are described below.
The longitudinal experience includes spending time each week with our sports medicine and orthopaedic attending physicians as well as providing Millersville University training room and football sideline coverage. This allows our fellow to participate in a comprehensive treatment plan including initial evaluation, follow-up visits, and return to play. A half day per week is dedicated to the fellow’s primary specialty as well as a half day dedicated to research.
Within the longitudinal experience, block rotations include concussion rehabilitation with occupational therapy, orthopaedic rehabilitation with physical therapy, sports psychology, sports nutrition, podiatry, pediatric cardiology, and musculoskeletal radiology.
The AMSSM musculoskeletal ultrasound curriculum is presented one on one by the fellowship director.
Starting in August 2020, we will be participating in the weekly AMSSM virtual lectures that were developed to optimize education in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We will also take advantage of the opportunities available through the UPMC in central Pa. orthopaedic surgery residency program by participating in select lectures which are most directly applicable to sports medicine.
The sports medicine faculty also provide lectures to supplement the curriculum.
