Here’s a sample block for Block 1 (July, August, September), where fellows rotate through various specialties:

Block 1 - July, August, September:

• Gen Ortho (General Orthopaedics)
• PT (Physical Therapy)
• Radiology

Fellow	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Fellow 1	Sports	Primary Care	Gen Ortho	Sports	Radiology

Fellow 2	Gen Ortho	Radiology	Sports	Primary Care	Sports

Each fellow will spend two weeks rotating in Park City, Utah at area ski clinics. This rotation exposes fellows to the evaluation and management of:

• Acute winter sports-related injuries
• Environmental concerns specific to winter sports

This experience will help fellows gain hands-on knowledge in a specialized setting, reinforcing skills in sports medicine.

• Weekly Didactics:
  Held every Thursday morning at the clinic, covering topics that align with the CAQ examination outline.

• Quarterly Journal Clubs:
  These are held at the clinic or at off-site locations for a broader perspective and in-depth discussion of recent research in sports medicine.

• Lectures for Family Medicine Residents:
  Fellows are expected to periodically present lectures to family medicine residents, fostering communication and teaching skills.

• Clinical Use: Ultrasound is used regularly in the clinic for diagnostics and procedure guidance.

• Weekly Ultrasound Practice:
  Fellows will participate in dedicated practice sessions, as ultrasound is becoming the standard of care in sports medicine. These sessions provide invaluable hands-on experience.

AMSSM Annual Conference:
Fellows will attend this prestigious conference in the spring, where they are expected to prepare at least one case abstract for presentation. This offers networking opportunities and exposure to cutting-edge research in sports medicine.
