Sports Medicine Graduate Assistantships are Available
The graduate program in Sports Medicine from Sports Medicine and
Nutrition (School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences) at the
University of Pittsburgh is accepting applications from students
interested in receiving a MS in Sports Medicine. The MS in Sports
Medicine is structured to provide coursework in the major academic areas
of sports medicine, physiology, biomechanics, injury evaluation and
treatment, rehabilitation, physical training, anatomy, education,
nutrition, pathokinesiology, statistics, and research methodology. Both
thesis and non-thesis routes are available. Thesis route students are
provided with research experience in the Neuromuscular Research
Laboratory housed within the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center,
Center for Sports Medicine. The research experience in the Neuromuscular
Research Laboratory focuses on issues central to clinical research in
orthopedics and sports medicine. Research includes the use of motion
analysis (video and electromagnetics) electromyography, isokinetic
dynamometry, and proprioceptive and balance assessment modalities 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 students
with access to the most current research and clinical developments
related to patient care.
Graduate assistantships are available in the university, high school,
and clinical settings to those who qualify. Assistantships include full
tuition waiver, stipend, and access to health insurance. Typically
assistantships are one-year appointments renewable annually.
