The Department of Orthopaedics congratulates Assistant Professor Dr. Joshua Berkowitz on his recent publication in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), one of the world’s most influential medical journals.
Published as a correspondence in response to a recent NEJM review on sudden cardiac arrest in athletes, the letter to the editor highlights the potential role of pulmonary embolism as an underrecognized cause of sudden cardiac arrest in athletic populations. Dr. Berkowitz and his co-authors emphasize the need for greater attention to pulmonary embolism in research and clinical discussions surrounding athlete health and safety.
Dr. Berkowitz specializes in primary care sports medicine. His clinical and scholarly work focuses on athlete health, injury prevention, and evidence-based sports medicine.
A publication in NEJM reflects the impact of Dr. Berkowitz’s expertise and contributions to advancing the understanding of critical health issues affecting athletes. We congratulate him on this notable achievement.
