PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-year ACGME-accredited, non-operative sports-medicine fellowship. It is included because it appears on UF's fellowship index, but is clearly labelled so orthopaedic surgeons do not confuse it with operative orthopaedic sports training.
Intended for: Physicians completing an ACGME-accredited residency in Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine or Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation; this is a non-operative primary-care sports medicine fellowship, not an orthopaedic-surgery fellowship
BENEFITS & SUPPORT

UF publishes generous educational-travel reimbursement and protected attendance at national conferences, plus event coverage experiences including Florida Relays, Intermountain Park City, AMSSM and WWE.
