Clinical Experience

Morristown Medical Center’s Sports Medicine Fellowship, offered in conjunction with Atlantic Sports Health, provides a diverse clinical experience that consists of:

  • Learning non-operative treatments, physical medicine and rehabilitation options for sports and musculoskeletal injuries
  • Exposure to a variety of injection procedures, including platelet rich plasma treatments
  • Instruction in electro-diagnosis and diagnostic and interventional ultrasound of various peripheral joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves
  • Electives, such as combat sports medicine, which offers both the theoretical and practical aspects of combat sports through didactic lectures and ringside experience with commissioned ringside physicians

In addition, our fellowship is closely affiliated with the orthopedic sports medicine community and numerous high school and college teams, including:

  • The College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE) – At CSE, a Division III school supporting eight women’s varsity intercollegiate sports, fellows will evaluate and treat athletes in the training room and provide coverage for home soccer and lacrosse games. Supervised by Damion Martins, MD.
  • Farleigh Dickinson University – At this Division III School, located in Florham Park, NJ and featuring 19 team sports, our fellows serve as doctors during home games in the fall, winter or spring sport of their choice.

In addition, our fellows provide pre-participation evaluation for the school’s athletes. Supervised by Stephen Kocaj, MD
