Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship

The Primary Care Sports Medicine (PCSM) Fellowship program at Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital received accreditation in 2011 by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), following a peer review process and thorough evaluation of established standards and guidelines.

The Houston Methodist PCSM Fellowship program is only one of three currently in the greater Houston area.

The program provides fellows with a broader understanding of the unique needs of the athletic population - setting a precedence in sports medicine training.

• Physical therapy and rehabilitative medicine
• Acute and chronic illnesses impacting training and performance
