The Division of Sports Medicine is committed to providing a team oriented, highly ethical and humble culture — and to educating tomorrow’s leaders in sports medicine. All of our faculty, from every sports medicine discipline, work together while teaching our team of fellows while collaborating regularly with colleagues in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Together, we strive for excellence in everything we do, from clinical care and community involvement to education and research.
Leaders in Community Care and Research
In addition to treating patients, we provide outstanding team care to athletes from the Nashville area, including more than 30 high schools, Vanderbilt University, AAA Baseball Nashville Sounds, MLS Nashville Soccer Club, and NHL Predators Hockey.
We also excel in sports medicine research. In fact, we founded and lead the MOON ACL Group, the MOON Shoulder Group, the Multicenter Revision ACL Study (MARS), the Vanderbilt Concussion Center, and many other multicenter research initiatives.
