Curriculum
“UB’s curriculum is preparing me for the scope and complexity of a sports medicine career,” says fellow Kenneth Aguirre, left. “I work with many different attendings, and I learn something new from them every day.”
Our one-year curriculum offers you comprehensive clinical training, thorough board review, mentored research experience and the opportunity to broaden your skills with electives.
Alternating Orthopaedic, Primary Care Weeks
Your schedule alternates weekly between primary care sports medicine and orthopaedics training. Depending on the week, you’ll train in either your sports medicine clinic or your orthopaedic clinic.
In addition, every week you’ll:
- cover the UB training room
- see patients in your primary care continuity clinic
- conduct research
- prepare for the boards (during the program director conference)
- attend grand rounds
Throughout the year, you'll:
- cover UB Division I games (primarily on weekends)
- conduct preparticipation physicals (primarily during the early fall and early spring)
You may take electives whenever your schedule permits, or use your free time at your discretion.
Your schedule alternates with that of our other fellow, so you never have to compete for patients.
