Sports Medicine Fellowship

Welcome

We’re a little program with a big heart for teaching primary care physicians the art of sports medicine and taking care of athletes of all ages.

Located in Quincy, Illinois, our fellowship offers a close-knit, supportive environment where fellows are known, challenged, and encouraged to grow. With deep community roots and strong interdisciplinary connections, we provide hands-on, personalized training that prepares physicians to confidently care for patients on the sidelines, in the clinic, and throughout their careers.

Whether you're passionate about musculoskeletal medicine, teaching, or serving active individuals of all ages, you'll find a meaningful and enriching experience here.
