The Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) and The University of Oregon (UO) are accepting applications for our second year Sports Medicine fellowship and we are reaching out to you for assistance in sharing this information with any potential fellows who may be interested. The UO campus is in Eugene, Oregon which is 100 miles south of Portland, Oregon – where OHSU campus is located. The UO campus has some of the most sophisticated and elaborate sports training facilities in the country. From the Marcus Mariota Student Performance Center, Matthew Knight Arena, Autzen stadium, and the state-of-the-art Hayward field; the commitment to the success of student-athletes is unrivaled. OHSU is the main teaching hospital in Oregon. The OHSU Sports Medicine fellowship program accepts two fellows per year. This program is housed under the Department of Family Medicine at OHSU which is consistently ranked as one of the best Family Medicine departments and residency training sites in the country. The current sports fellowship has a strong presence with AMSSM, hosts national CME ultrasound courses and is affiliated with Portland State University and Lewis and Clark College. The two fellowship spots in Portland are ACGME accredited fellowship spots – which participate thru the NRMP fellowship match program. The UO campus has two faculty staff physicians and numerous community physicians involved in the care of the student-athletes; however, there are no learners on campus – other than our Sports Fellow. The fellowship spot will be a second-year fellowship spot – meaning we only accept/consider applicants who are currently in a Sports Fellowship or have completed an ACGME Sports Medicine Fellowship. The fellowship program will not be operated under the ACGME or NRMP. The fellowship will be integrated with the OHSU fellowship – taking advantage of the numerous opportunities available there – including didactics, cadaver labs, library services, clinical teaching and collaborating with OHSU Sports Medicine faculty and fellows. In Eugene, the fellow will be under the supervision of the Head of Athletic Medicine Dr. Craig Davidson and Assistant Team Physician of Athletic Medicine and University Health Services Sports Medicine Lead Dr. Aaron Vaughan.
