Founded in 2008, the UC Davis Dept. of PM&R began offering one of the nation's first ACGME-accredited Sports Medicine Fellowships for PM&R physicians. The program is directed by two Sports Medicine Board Certified physiatrists (Dr. Davis and Dr. Brandee Waite). The Fellow works closely with other nationally-recognized faculty in a variety of related fields. The fellowhip offers exposure to: --Family Practice Sports Medicine - Drs. Jeff Tanji and David Cosca --Orthopedic Sports Medicine - Drs. Richard Marder, Kirk Lewis and Alan Hirahara --Orthopedic Hand Surgery - Drs. Robert Szabo and Robert Allen --Musculoskeletal Radiology - Drs. John Hunter, Eva Escobedo and Walt Mak --Orthopedic Spine Surgery - Drs.

This group works on the slopes of several world-famous ski resorts and treats acute skiing and snowboading injuries. Elective time is available for up to one month within the scope of practice of Sports Medicine. This may include acupuncture or other related fields. The Fellow can discuss this with the Fellowship Directors. The Fellow will be eligible for event coverage to include a variety of sporting events, including professional basketball, local collegiate sports, national and collegiate track and field, boxing, tae kwon do, endurance events and others as they become available. Fellows are expected to work on a research project during their year and are expected to have a publication-worthy project by the end of the fellowship. Fellows are heavily mentored where necessary, and ample research staff is available in all areas of research design, statistics and implementation. Some research seed money is available to assist with funding projects or paying for travel/ textbooks, etc. As the fellowship is based out of the University of California, Davis Medical Center Department of PM&R, the Fellow will have ample opportunity to 'brush up' on his/ her skills in the field of PM&R to be ready for the ABPMR Part II examination. The Fellow will complete approximatley 100-150 electrodiagnostic studies toward future AANEM certification.
