Sports Medicine

The Department of Emergency Medicine at Stritch supports our faculty, residents, and physicians-in-training as they develop their career interest in sports medicine and provides several opportunities for both clinical experiences and research. Faculty mentor physicians-in-training and others to help them define the clinical care practice environment they choose to pursue. Faculty will help them obtain the experiences to demonstrate their commitment to the subspecialty. These experiences include: developing a critical knowledge base in sports medicine, starting an individual research project, enhancing their resume, and successfully applying to fellowship programs. Clinical care situations may include helping with pre-participation physical examinations, event coverage of local and regional sporting events, and the sports medicine clinic environment. Exposure to clinical patient care, teaching, and research are the cornerstones to the academic experience. Individualized programs can be developed, including a longitudinal educational experience or short-term rotation.

Sports Medicine is a board-certified subspecialty of Emergency Medicine; fellowship training is required to achieve certification. Non-operative sports medicine fellowship training can be pursued after residency training in Emergency Medicine, iInternal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
