Volunteer Program
The USOPC sports medicine volunteer program offers providers the opportunity to support Team USA by working alongside USOPC Sports Medicine team members to provide an integrative, collaborative, multidisciplinary care approach for athletes.
“From beginning to end, the staff and other providers were amazing. The energy and knowledge within the sports med clinic was something that I won't forget. The rotation felt organized, thorough, thoughtful, and beneficial. It was an incredible experience to get to work with high-level athletes and providers of all different specialties.”
