Department of Family and Community Medicine

Family medicine sports medicine training program

Overview

This combined training opportunity was initiated in June of 2007 with our first FM/Sports Medicine track trainee. The goal of the program is to enable highly motivated residents with demonstrated sports medicine interests to follow a track of dedicated longitudinal curriculum time to gain experience in a variety of primary care sports medicine clinical and scholarly activities to better prepare them for a Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship position.

Objectives

The objective of the program is to provide residents with a variety of extra Sports Medicine training experiences here at UC Davis, as well as at other locations, in an effort to strengthen their knowledge base in Sports Medicine and enhance their marketability for a Sports Medicine fellowship, or to practice sports medicine more confidently at completion of their residency.

Program oversight

The Sports Medicine Track is a three-year experience coordinated through the Family and Community Medicine department. Dr. Amy Sekhon-Atwal, who is CAQ eligible in Sports Medicine, is the Clinical Training Director and functions as the advisor to our FM/SM residents.

Curriculum

This track will include experiences in our Family Medicine Sports Medicine and UC Davis Sports Medicine Clinics. Selective sports medicine experiences in this track are intergrated in lieu of traditional track elective time. Rotations are arranged to have more outpatient experiences in the fall to allow time for event coverage. Research to include case-based activities, observational and/or hypothesis driven ideas will be encouraged. Time will be given for attendance and possible presentations at the meetings of the national sports medicine societies (ACSM and AMSSM).
