Sports Medicine Fellowship
Welcome to the Texas A&M Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Program
Howdy!
Thank you for our interest in the Texas A&M Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship program!
Our program is part of the Texas A&M Health Science Center and is housed in the Department of Primary Care and Rural Medicine within the Texas A&M College of Medicine.
We proudly serve as the team doctors for the Texas A&M Aggies and provide dynamic, personalized training experiences in the Bryan/College Station, TX area.
Each year, we accept one fellow and provide a comprehensive,
well-rounded fellowship with varied growth opportunities.
As a fellow, you will have a chance to work with athletes of all levels, from high school to professional, gaining invaluable experience in sports medicine. Our alumni have gone on to pursue careers in various areas, from private practice to professional athletes, with a few staying with our Aggie family.
We hope that you take the time to explore our information and see if this journey is right for you!
Thanks and Gig ‘em!
