The department of OPP offers a one year Sports Medicine Fellowship/Subspecialty Residency that leads to a certificate of added qualification (CAQ) in sports medicine by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).

Candidates for this fellowship/subspecialty residency may enter after completion of an AOA approved residency in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine, Preventive Medicine or Emergency Medicine. Certification is granted through the primary certifying board.

This is a dynamic subspecialty residency that provides an outpatient education in

PM&R, OMM and Orthopedic Surgery. Rotations are also completed in Pediatrics, the Differently Abled Athlete and Internal Medicine. There is also time allotted to concentrate on other Sports Medicine related areas in which a resident would like to focus.

Residents will participate in an active Sports Medicine outpatient clinic at NSU. They will also provide medical coverage for the NSU NCAA Division II sports and North Broward High School District sports. They will provide event coverage for various teams and tournaments throughout the year. Residents will also have exposure to professional and semi-professional athletic teams, Special Olympics and mass events.
