Rotation Feedback Form (Word)Sports Medicine Rotation
Generally speaking, concussion/TBI are the most common cases we see, followed by pediatric overuse injuries, pediatric fractures, and a variety of other musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries.
Past residents and students have recommended watching the Concussion Exam video playlist first.
These readings are not required, but are good supplemental resources.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Rotation
In this rotation, you will primarily see ultrasound-guided injection and ultrasound diagnostics for musculoskeletal injuries. You will also have the opportunity to see concussion patients, so watching our VOMS and other concussion exam videos on YouTube is highly recommended.
These readings are not required, but are good supplemental resources.
