In 1993 we had visions of developing a program that would promote an educational atmosphere in our clinic and utilize all of the outstanding resources that our clinic and surrounding area had to offer. A system of rotations was built around professional volunteers in a wide range of sports related fields, and combined with physical therapy clinic work experience to create this fellowship.

We accepted our first fellow for 1994-1995 -- Rebecca Lindsay, ATC from nearby Vermont.  Over the years, fellows have come from many states and even three different countries including the United States, Canada and Japan.  After six years of having one fellow annually, the program grew to include two annual fellowships.  While most incoming fellows have completed only undergraduate work, several have come to the fellowship after having completed Masters degrees.  Most of our fellow alumni are working full time in the field of athletic training and several are currently pursuing advanced degrees. Among our alums are high school, college and clinical ATs, DPTs, PA-Cs and a physician.  Click here for a complete listing of past and current fellows.

Perennially, fellows report significant benefits from our series of orthopedic rotations especially. Of course other rotations are of great educational value and provide outstanding experience. The program has been updated and honed over the years and we continue to evaluate and make changes as necessary. Click here to see the fellowship faculty and rotation information. Another important aspect of the program exposes fellows to the research process.  Fellows have participated in projects at varying levels with several publishing and presenting research abstracts and five going on to become authors on full papers.  Past research topic areas have included joint hypermobility, hamstring stretching and football facemask removal.
