What attracted you to Mayo Clinic? There were a couple of factors that attracted me to Mayo Clinic. I wanted a training program where I had the opportunity to thrive as a well-rounded and highly skilled sports medicine physician. Mayo Clinic offered faculty from diverse training backgrounds with unique processes on how to tackle a problem. I am also a Florida native, and so it was difficult to pass up the opportunity to undertake this journey with my support system in close proximity.

What are you enjoying most about the Sports Medicine Fellowship? Some of the most enjoyable moments of fellowship thus far have certainly been the coverage opportunities. Especially memorable was a moment covering high school football and having to explain to the family of a star player that he would have to sit out the rest of the game. I thought it was incredibly difficult to gain the trust of not only the player but the parents in an intense situation. I found out later from the parents that approaching the situation with compassion and honesty led to them being more trusting.
