Why did you choose sports medicine? In my emergency medicine training, I frequently cared for acute injuries but sought continuity in guiding recovery beyond the ED. Sports medicine provided that missing piece for me. I wish to offer treatment and guidance on injury management, rehabilitation, and prevention to patients looking to regain function and safely get back into activities they enjoy doing.
