Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship
In 2008, the Department of Family Medicine joined with the Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation to establish a year-long ACGME-Accredited Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship. The program currently holds busy clinics covering each day of the week at Gabriel Park, Richmond, Scappoose, and at the CHH in the department of Orthopaedics. The overall goal of the program is teach the fellows how to evaluate sports medicine issues in a patient panel that range from professional athletes to recreationalists and from children to pregnant women to seasoned athletes. The Sports Medicine program has quickly become a well-known and well-respected entity in the Portland community and faculty and fellows been functioning as team doctors for Portland State, Lewis & Clark, and the majority of area high schools. In addition, the fellows and Sports Medicine faculty participate as medical advisors to the Portland Marathon, Hood to Coast, Oregon Special Olympics functions, the Little League Softball World Series, and many other mass-participation sporting events throughout the region.
Fellowship graduates will be qualified and expected to sit for the Sports Medicine Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) examination.
