For patients' convenience, on-site support services include radiology, a full-service laboratory, physical therapy, a clinical pharmacist and clinical psychologist, as well as a procedure room for casting and minor surgery. A medical science/sports medicine library also is located at Wildwood Medical Center, providing sports medicine professionals and physician fellows easy access to computer searches, inter-library loans and information on the most advanced treatments and technologies.

Curriculum


The curriculum is broad-based and established on guidelines set forth by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the Council on Postdoctoral Training (COPT). The established core curriculum provides the breadth of knowledge required, while remaining flexible to accommodate incoming fellows' strengths and areas for growth.

Core Curriculum

* Two one-half days (20%) in the individual's primary care discipline. This will be arranged through The Toledo Hospital, based upon the fellow's primary care specialty.

* Two one-half days (20%) in the sports medicine clinic exclusively seeing sports medicine patients referred to the clinic.

* Team physician for local high schools, including event coverage, training room triage and weekly treatment with follow-up in the sports medicine clinic, as necessary; instructing coach's clinics as assigned; and supervising on-site training staff.

* Assistance with training room and event coverage for the Toledo Mud Hens professional baseball team and the Toledo Storm professional hockey team. Direct one-on-one supervision with both orthopaedic and primary care trained sports medicine physicians provides excellent hands-on exposure.

* Didactic lecture series, presented by the sports medicine staff and faculty at The University of Toledo, under the direction of the Sports Medicine program directors and director of sports science research.

* Monthly Textbook Club

* Preparation and presentation of didactic lectures to trainers, physical therapists, residents, staff and the public on topics ranging from on-field emergencies to rehabilitation of athletic injuries. Typically four to six presentations over the course of the year.

* Coverage for community sporting events, as necessary. In previous years, coverage was provided for the PGA Championship at the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio; local 10K road races; Glass City Marathon; USTF 24-hour Run National Championship; The Toledo Senior Judo Championship; and numerous other athletic activities.
