Research

Make a lasting impact on the field with sports medicine.

AnMed works hard to further academic and scholarly activity amongst our faculty and our fellows. Fellows are all required to participate in some type of research project during their fellowship year.

This research may be an independent project or an assistant role in the research of one of our faculty. We also encourage fellows to present cases or posters through one of many venues.
