electromagnetics) electromyography, isokinetic dynamometry,
proprioceptive and balance assessment modalities, and metabolic and
physiological assessment techniques for the purpose of defining and
restoring function in the injured athlete and physically active
individual. Weekly seminars sponsored by the Departments of Orthopaedic
Surgery and Sports Medicine provide appointees with access to the most
current research and clinical developments related to patient care.
Successful candidates should have:
1. Completed their PhD degree in an appropriate field
