The program puts students through one-month rotations where they will work alongside orthopedic team physicians, primary care team physicians and athletic trainers, according to a July 18 news release from the NFL.
The program was created by the NFL, the NFL Physicians Society and the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society and aims to increase diversity among students going into sports medicine and, eventually, among NFL medical staff.
This is the second year of the program, which had 14 students and eight NFL teams participate last year, the release said.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
