Graduate Medical Education Sports Medicine Fellowships T he VCOM Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Program was established in 2004 to provide fellows with training to diagnose and manage medical illnesses and injuries of athletes in a Division I university setting as well as to serve all levels of athletes and patients with sports-related injuries. VCOM partners with Virginia Tech and Auburn University to offer hands-on experiences to fellows on the Virginia and

Auburn campuses. This fellowship program includes educational experiences necessary for participants to achieve the knowledge, motor skills, interpersonal

skills, professional attitudes, and practical experience required to practice sports medicine successfully. Working directly under sports medicine trained physicians,
