Geisinger Health System Program
About This Program
Our one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship is centered in a region with an abundance of high schools, universities and opportunities to treat professional athletes as well. As our sports medicine fellow, you'll be guided by faculty dedicated to your success, but you'll also enjoy autonomy from day one, when we will install you as head team physician for a local high school or university. From there, you'll work with your faculty mentors to shape a fellowship that meets your personal career goals.
