Fellowship Program
The UHZ Sports Medicine Fellowship is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). This is important to applicants because the American Board of Medical Subspecialties approved a subspecialty certification in orthopedic sports medicine in March 2003. Only those fellows graduating from an accredited program will be allowed to sit for this subspecialty exam.
During the fellowship year, each fellow will evaluate patients with sports-related injuries in an acute setting in the training room as well as on the field. The fellow also evaluates patients in the office to develop and carry out appropriate treatment plans. Surgical interventions emphasis arthroscopic and open ligamentous reconstruction and soft tissue repair of the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle. The latest surgical techniques are utilized. The fellow participates in didactic conferences two days per week. These conferences emphasize current concepts and techniques in sports medicine, radiology and physical therapy. In addition, research topics are included. UHZ Sports Medicine Institute provides medical coverage for the Miami-Dade County public high school sports program, University of Miami, Florida International University, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Florida Panthers. Fellows actively participate in all levels of medical coverage. UHZ Sports Medicine Institute participates in the SF Match and strictly adheres to these guidelines. Applications for the fellowship program are accepted beginning April 1 or each year. Deadline for receipt of completed application materials is December 15 of each year. A universal orthopedic sports medicine fellowship application may be submitted online together with the cover sheet, black and white photograph, current CV and three letters of recommendation.
