UNC Sports Medicine Injury Clinic Starts August 2017

If you suspect you may have sprained your ankle, broken a finger or received a concussion in last week's game, come to the UNC Family Medicine Center on Saturday morning to get checked by our sports medicine experts.  We are now offering a walk-in injury clinic on Saturday mornings only.

4th Annual Steadman Hawkins Hosted in Greenville, SC - Sports Medicine Conference                                             

We had another great turnout from sports medicine providers from the area and South Carolina for the two day symposium. Former graduates were able to come in for the annual event. The event included sessions covering MSK US and anatomy for the fellows and residents. The fellows also presented cases for discussion. Main topics of this year's symposium were evaluation of low back pain, shoulder and elbow rehab and bracing in athletes. Next year's event will be held in Chapel Hill. This event is growing in size every year.

Community Outreach

Thanks to everyone who participated in our annual holiday community project. We were able to sponsor two community events over the past two quarters. We adopted a kindergarten class at Eastway Elementary School. We were able to buy needed school supplies for children during the first quarter of the academic year.
Our second quater project was a great success as we adopted a family for the holidays. We were able to supply beds and gifts so that a family could have a wonderful holiday season. Thanks to everyone that participated.
 
    

AMSSM Annual Meeting

The UNC Sports Medicine faculty and fellows attended the 2016 AMSSM conference held in Dallas, Texas.  This year's theme "Back to the Future: Celebrating 25 years of AMSSM". The purpose of the conference was to provide a valuable source of current "cutting edge" medical knowledge to professionals actively engaged in treating athletic patients. UNC was very active during the week with community service projects, podium presentations from the faculty and fellows.
