The program is the first of its kind in the Chicagoland area and offers an interdisciplinary approach to sports medicine for women and girls, according to a May 16 press release.
The program will focus on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sports-related injuries and conditions. It will bring together a team of specialists, including experts in orthopedics, primary care, sports medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, urogynecology, podiatry, sports psychology and sports nutrition.
Mary Mulcahey, MD, division director of sports medicine in the orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation department at Loyola Medicine, will help to lead the initiative.
