| Methodist Hospital (Houston) Sports Medicine Fellowship Program |
| Newly Accredited Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Program |
Under the Direction of Dr. Scott Rand of the Methodist Center for Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine at Willowbrook and
Sugarland, the Fellowship will Focus on Primary Care Sports Medicine as an Innovative New Approach to Caring for Today’s
Athlete
Dr. Scott Rand, the Fellowship program director, will oversee all aspects of training and education that the Fellows receive including: experience
treating a broad range of injuries and conditions - from musculoskeletal injuries to brain injuries and acute as well as chronic illnesses; computerized
neuropsychological testing in concussion management; electrophysiology; and other elective rotations in ski trauma, cardiology, hand surgery, foot
and ankle surgery and neuropsychology.
In addition to the things typically associated with sports medicine, such as sprains and strains, as well as fractures and dislocations, Primary Care
Sports Medicine also involves the medical care of active patients. Concussions, asthma, heart problems, diabetes and nutrition are among the issues
on which Primary Care Sports Medicine doctors focus.
“This program will not only enhance the sports medicine services offered at the center but also equip future physicians with the multidisciplinary
skills and understanding to treat ‘the athlete,’ not just the injury or condition,” said Rand.
“In order to truly care for an active person, you must understand the effect that exercise has on the body and on disease processes and you must also
understand how different disease processes affect an athlete’s ability to exercise safely. This is an innovative approach to treating athletes and the
active in our society. The goal of Primary Care Sports Medicine is to utilize multiple tools to help athletes reach their full potential physically, as
well as treat the overall individual for a safe return to sports. We are fortunate to be part of an organization that supports this initiative,” added
Rand.
