Looking to specialize in pediatric sports medicine? The Scottish Rite for Children and UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) Sports Medicine Fellowship is a new 12-month ACGME accredited fellowship program with an emphasis on pediatric sports medicine. The one-year fellowship program is available to a postgraduate surgeon who has completed an orthopedic residency, but it may also be ideal for a surgeon who has just completed a fellowship who would like more exposure to pediatric sports medicine conditions and treatment. Currently, there is one position available for the 2023 cycle, and we are also accepting applications for the 2024 cycle. This fellowship is perfect for a PGY4 who is interested in sports medicine and may have been overlooked or gone unmatched. A PGY5 who is interested in a second fellowship is also an ideal candidate.
The results are in! Scottish Rite remains #1 in pediatric orthopedics in Texas and the entire Southwest, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report. For the past 15 years, this exceptional ranking continues to reflect our commitment to excellence and to providing world-renowned care to our patients and their families. https://scottishriteforchildren.org/news-items/15th-year-scottish-rite-for-children-ranked-no-1-i
What started in 1995 as a small camp for Scottish Rite patients with hand differences is now a worldwide movement. That movement is being led by occupational therapist and certified hand therapist Amy Lake. Amy recently attended the 2023 World Symposium on Congenital Malformations of the Hand and Upper Limb where she shared her research on the impact therapeutic camps have on children with hand differences. Her published study and passion for treating the whole child is inspiring hospitals all over the world to start their own hand camps. We are so proud to have Amy as part of our team sharing the incredible things happening at Scottish Rite. To learn more, visit our website. http://spr.ly/6185PDBZv
Annabella receives care for hip dysplasia from one of our hip experts Dr. Morris and his team. As she undergoes treatment with a series of spica casts, our Child Life team goes the extra mile by matching her cast to her teddy bear's cast. Annabella affectionately named her teddy bear "Dr. Morris" after her favorite doctor. Our patients always leave a sweet impression on all of us.
