The Altru Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship is a one-year ACGME accredited
fellowship. Our mission is to train well-rounded primary care physicians
who specialize in the care of the athlete. Fellows serve as the team physicians
for the Division I University of North Dakota athletic teams in addition
to multiple local high schools. Unopposed care is provided across a variety
of settings including training rooms, sideline coverage, ambulatory care
clinic, and hospital. Fellows are an essential part of the interdisciplinary
team working with primary care sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers,
physical therapists, psychologists, sports dieticians, specialty physicians/surgeons,
and coaches.
Our fellowship will give you a strong foundation in both musculoskeletal and general point of care ultrasound. Time is built into fellow clinic schedules to allow for ultrasound use during every visit if needed. Fellows have the opportunity to become proficient in both diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound guidance procedures with both cart-based and hand-held ultrasound machines. Their skills are put to work in the clinic, training room, sidelines, and in our ultrasound lab.
Fellows should expect a diverse experience while in Grand Forks. Education is a valuable part of our program as fellows will be expected to work with and teach residents, medical students, and athletic training students. Fellows provide care to patients in multiple different environments including their own primary care sports clinic located at Altru Family Medicine Residency. In addition, fellows work with both primary care sports medicine physicians and orthopedic surgeons at community-based and private orthopedic groups. Fellows also get the opportunity to work with the two orthopedic traumatologists in the state of North Dakota to build their acute care skills including fracture management and casting/splinting.
