McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University (Lake Forest) Program
About This Program
Although the patient population seen in the Northwestern McGaw Sports Medicine (Family Medicine) Fellowship will span all age groups (school age to elderly) and levels (high school, collegiate, professional, recreational) in sports medicine, the primary experience will revolve around Division 1 NCAA collegiate student-athletes and active college-age individuals. A primary fellowship goal is to develop proficiency in providing sports medicine care to a university-based athletic population.
