As a fellow at Burke's Sports Medicine Fellowship, you will have the unique opportunity to train under the guidance of sports medicine physicians from various specialties, including physiatrists, pediatrics, radiology, and orthopedics. You will be part of the sideline coverage for high school sports teams, colleges, and professional sports, gaining invaluable experience. Our focus on adaptive sports, promoting access and equity to sports for everyone, including individuals with physical disabilities, sets us apart.

At Burke's Sports Medicine Fellowship, we not only place a great emphasis on the education of patient safety and performance improvement (PI), but we also provide support for your research and presentation endeavors. Fellows are expected to complete a PI project before graduation, and we are here to guide and support you every step of the way. Similarly, fellows will engage in research activities and present in their Graduation Research Presentation Day. The program supports fellows in presenting their scholarly work at regional and national meetings such as AAPMR, AAP, and the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM), ensuring that your work gets the recognition it deserves.
