Credits: 2
Students will actively participate in patient care in the OHSU Sports Medicine Clinics. This elective is clinically oriented with emphasis place on physical examination techniques, and the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries as well as care of the athlete. These concepts will be applied to the care of professional and elite athletes, as well as grade school, high school, college and recreational athletes in the Portland Metro area. Opportunities will exist for the student to participate with their attending physicians at Portland State University, Lewis and Clark College sports medicine clinics and events. Experience may also include medical coverage for several other athletic events here in Portland. The student will also attend sports medicine conferences, family medicine grand rounds and case conferences. Some weekend commitments may be required. This rotation is for those students with a strong interest in Primary Care Sports Medicine whose goal is to provide a link between the rapidly expanding core of knowledge related to sports medicine and its application to patients in the primary care setting.
