Sports Medicine
The COVID pandemic has affected all of us in one way or another . The upheaval of our society has shown us the vulnerability of our norms , and the importance of sports and recreation to our social , mental and physical wellbeing has really been brought to light . We will be dealing with its deleterious effects for many years to come . Understanding these effects , both acute and chronic , will be essential to providing the best care possible in the future .
Sports medicine is my dream career . The ability to merge my love of sports with my passion for medicine is the ultimate job and I truly enjoy the privilege of helping individuals recover from injury . There is no better feeling than assisting patients in achieving their goals , whether as individuals or as part of a team . As I mature , I realize that there is nothing more valuable than your health . Helping people through acute injuries is rewarding , but helping people understand their body serves as an invaluable preventative function as well .
