Mission

Lake Tahoe Sports Medicine Fellowship will strive for excellence in fellowship training and education for future sports medicine physicians. In addition to concentrating on the ‘Six Core Competencies’, the fellowship will encompass:

Education

We will provide the best possible educational experience for both fellows and faculty as we empower them to effectively apply their increasing fund of orthopedic knowledge. We will instill the commitment to a lifetime of learning.

Research

We will stimulate and foster scholarly research in both basic and applied medical science as we continue to create and evaluate new knowledge, particularly as it relates to the cause, prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

Patient Care

We will provide compassionate, contemporary medical care in a professional, effective, and cost conscious manner as we encourage a multi-disciplinary team approach to address the needs of the patient as a whole person.

Community Service

We will engage our fellows and faculty in providing both medical care and health education to members of our community who might otherwise remain unattended.

Personal Development

We will seek to develop in our fellows, faculty, and staff those qualities that will be critical to leadership as we meet the challenges of health care in the 21st century - integrity, professionalism, scholarship, collegiality, creativity, and compassion.
