The UNM Division of Sports Medicine is comprised of 4 subspecialty-certified, sports medicine orthopaedic surgeons supplemented with 5 CAQ-certified, primary care sports medicine physicians. Our Sports Medicine Division is busy, seeing more than 2,500 patients yearly at the OSIS Sports Medicine Clinic and General Orthopaedic Clinic. Pediatric sports medicine injuries are also seen weekly at Carrie Tingley Children’s Hospital. Our program provides the broadest possible exposure to diagnosis, treatment (operative and non-operative), and rehabilitation of athletes of all ages. We are one of the leading institutions in the country managing multi-ligament knee injuries. We provide our fellows with a well-rounded surgical experience including hip arthroscopy, complex shoulder and elbow procedures, osteotomies about the knee, pediatric and adolescent sports injuries.
