The Sports Medicine Fellowship under the direction of Dr. Thomas Gill at Massachusetts General Hospital provides an invaluable experience and a deep and broad exposure to the field of orthopaedic sports medicine and related conditions. Three fellows are selected for the Harvard/MGH Sports Medicine Fellowship Program each year. Each fellow gains experience in the management of athletic knee injuries including arthroscopy, arthroscopic surgery, internal derangement, and instabilities. Fellows will also become proficient in the management of shoulder problems including repair of recurrent shoulder dislocations, torn rotator cuff, and arthroscopic surgery. Fellows develop surgical and patient management skills by working closely with Drs. Thomas Gill, Jon J.P. Warner, Peter Asnis, Eric Berkson, Luke Oh, George Theodore, Bertram Zarins, and Arthur Boland.
