Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship The Sports Medicine Fellowship is a one-year accredited program sponsored in conjunction with the University at Buffalo Department of Family Medicine and the UB Sports Medicine Institute. Each year two fellows will be accepted into the program. The fellowship welcomes applicants with backgrounds in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics. This program is designed to provide comprehensive experience that will enable the fellow to apply primary care medical training to the assessment, treatment and management of sports injuries and involves active participation in providing coverage for athletes at various levels of competition, as well as preparation for obtaining a certification of added qualifications by the Board of Family Practice in Sports Medicine. In addition to the primary focus of learning musculoskeletal examination skills, fellows also focus on systemic and general medical concerns of athletes such as exercise-induced asthma, nutritional guidance, and prevention and rehabilitation of athletic injuries via appropriate training therapy methods. Fellows in this program participate will work with faculty at the UB Sports Medicine Institute, as well as following a panel of continuity patients at the Family Medicine Center.
