Heavy Emphasis on Clinical Aspects of Sports Medicine

The St. Luke's Sports Medicine Fellowship currently is structured with a heavy emphasis on the clinical aspects of sports medicine. The resources will be provided for our sports resident to participate in the annual AMSSM Sports Medicine Research Conference sponsored by the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine (AMSSM) in July 2010, as well as the AMSSM and American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting in Spring 2011. In addition, we certainly encourage and provide support for our fellows to design and implement their own research protocols. Our close relationship with Lehigh University, Muhlenberg College, Moravian College, Lafayette College, East Stroudsburg University and DeSales University, all situated within minutes from the St. Luke's Hospital - Bethlehem Campus, offers a fertile opportunity for development of research projects, and several research endeavors are currently under way in our department.
