SPORTS MEDICINE & ARTHROSCOPY FACULTY PHYSICIANS

TULANE INSTITUTE OF SPORTS MEDICINE'S FELLOWSHIP PHYSICIANS

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE SPORTS MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP

On behalf of the Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Surgeon Advanced Training Program at Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center (MSMOC), I want to personally welcome you to our program website. Our sports medicine advanced training is an ACGME accredited 12-month program offering 5 approved physician positions. All of our sports faculty are committed to the highest quality care for our patients and to educating and training our sports medicine physicians. The MSMOC sports advanced training program exposes the 5 physicians to all areas of sports medicine surgical practice including shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle arthroscopic procedures as well as to an extensive experience in hip arthroscopy. In addition, numerous opportunities to participate in a wide variety of open procedures such as reverse shoulder arthroplasty, elbow ligament reconstruction, and complex shoulder instability stabilization are available.

Our private practice partnership setting creates unique efficiencies for our sports physicians to learn and develop while also fostering opportunities that maximize their clinical and surgical training experiences. As a consequence, each sports medicine physician can expect to directly participate in over 1000 surgical cases during their training year. Physicians take part in a wide variety of patient care interactions including clinical office assessments, on-field athletic evaluations, and extensive operative experiences.

All surgeons rotate through 10-week rotations with each instructor (including a 10-week formal rotation with Drs. Felix (Buddy) Savoie and Michael O’Brien at Tulane University in New Orleans). Each of our sports medicine faculty is a surgical sub-specialist that has tremendous experience in both open and arthroscopic procedures, and all have written and presented extensively both nationally and internationally within their respective areas of expertise. We sincerely appreciate your interest in our sports medicine surgeon advanced training program.

Larry D. Field, MD
