Program Description
The Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Fellowship at Mayo Clinic
in Rochester is a one-year program in nonoperative sports medicine.
The fellowship is sponsored by the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center,
which is a joint venture of the Departments of Physical Medicine
& Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Surgery.
This fellowship involves the primary care of patients with sports,
fitness or recreational activity-related injuries that adversely
affect their ability to participate in physical activity. You will
spend the majority of the fellowship in clinical activities at the
Sports Medicine Center, although there will be opportunities to
rotate to other services related to sports medicine and musculoskeletal
rehabilitation.
You will have ample opportunities to perform research in the Sports
Medicine Center, Biomechanics Laboratory, or Motion Analysis. Time
and support services will be available to facilitate completion
of the research requirement. Elective time will be available for
you to gain experience in practice areas related to sports medicine, such as Spine Center, Radiology, and Pain Clinic.
The Mayo Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Fellowship provides exposure
to a broad spectrum of the practice of musculoskeletal Physical
Medicine & Rehabilitation and prepares fellows for sports- and
musculoskeletal-based practices in academic or private practice
settings, including multidisciplinary groups.
