Sports Medicine Fellowship

Program Overview

The Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship has been established to increase the sport and exercise medicine training opportunities for primary care physicians to serve patients more comprehensively in Georgia.

Accepting one fellow per academic year, we offer a 12-month accredited fellowship to physicians who have satisfactorily completed an ACGME- accredited residency in family medicine, emergency medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics. Upon completion of the fellowship program, graduates are eligible for the Certificate of Added Qualification or Sub-specialty Certification in Primary Care Sports Medicine from their primary specialty board (ie American Board of Family Medicine or American Board of Emergency Medicine, etc).
