About Me

Sports Medicine Physician & Educator

I am a board-certified sports medicine physician with a focus on clinical education and athlete care. I currently teach family medicine residents and care for athletes across a range of clinical and sideline settings.

My work sits at the intersection of medical education and real-world sports medicine practice, with an emphasis on helping trainees develop sound clinical reasoning rather than relying on memorization alone.

This platform reflects how I teach, practice, and think through sports medicine problems every day.

Training & Education

I completed my medical training across a range of academic and clinical environments, with a focus on primary care and sports medicine education.

  • Undergraduate: Bachelor of Science in Biology, University of Alabama

  • Medical School: American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine

  • Residency: VCU–Riverside Family Medicine Residency

  • Fellowship: University of Alabama Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship

How I Teach Sports Medicine

Sports medicine is best learned through pattern recognition, repetition, and application — not through isolated facts or long textbook chapters.

My teaching approach emphasizes:

  • Understanding injury mechanisms

  • Interpreting physical exam findings in context

  • Making practical imaging decisions

  • Connecting diagnosis to management and return-to-activity planning

The goal is to help learners move confidently from evaluation to decision-making in both clinic and sideline environments.

Why the Sports Medicine Playbook Exists

The Sports Medicine Playbook was created to address a gap I saw repeatedly while teaching: motivated learners struggling to translate information into action.

Rather than another static reference, the Playbook is designed as an active learning platform that mirrors how clinicians actually think through sports medicine cases. It brings together structured content, interactive tools, and board-relevant concepts in a way that supports long-term understanding.

It is the resource I wish I had during training — and the one I now use when teaching residents.
