Just a Quick Look at ultrasound didactics! Each fellow had an ultrasound machine, a faculty member, and an upper extremity to scan this past week. During our first 2 months of fellowship we have ultrasound boot camp sessions every Friday morning. Each fellow is given one on one attention with a faculty member to guide and improve their diagnostic ultrasound skills. We have now completed all of upper extremity and this week we will be completing the last segment of the lower extremity with hip & thigh ultrasounds. Each day the fellows gain more knowledge and exposure to diagnostic and interventional ultrasounds with our patients but this gives them an extra opportunity to gain better dexterity, foundation, comfortability, and confidence with their skills.

Get up it’s game day!!!! Take a look at the fellows first UL game last week in the upgraded stadium! Nothing compares to the first time you join the team running out of the tunnel! Round 2 will be tonight.

Yesterday was Friday night lights with Southside and Comeaux High Schools! Both Dr. Fries and Dr. Deck were on the sidelines for their respective schools assisting the ATCs with medical coverage.

Fellowship 2025-2026 is in full swing!!!

High school jamboree this week. Excited to be covering sideline for Comeaux, Northside, and Southside this year! We had a special first game with Dr. Boateng and Dr. Fries’s teams playing each other.

All things UL! UL soccer and volleyball got the season rolling with our fellows. Stay tuned!!! The fellows get their first taste of UL Football sidelines today! Geaux Cajuns! 🤟

Out with the “old” and in with the “new”! August 1st was the first day for our new fellows. This year we have so many exciting changes and the first being expanding the program to 3 SM fellows yearly!

Dr. Boateng, Dr. Deck, and Dr. Fries hit the ground running! They have started seeing patients in clinic, completed emergency action plan training with UL athletic trainers and EMS, started sideline coverage with UL football practices and UL soccer. We finished our second didactic Friday, this week reviewing diagnostic ultrasounds of the knee and then lectures focused on knee pathology.

Lastly, our 2025-2026 fellows have officially graduated and both passed their Sports Medicine Board Exam!!! Bragging on an amazing program that gives each fellow an amazing year of clinic/field practical training but also prepares our fellows for the board exam appropriately. We continue to have 100% SM board exam pass rate!

Dr. Giang will be joining the Kelsey group in Houston doing 100% SM and Dr. Morton is sticking around with the program as a third SM faculty member! Excited to see them flourish as they take their next steps as attendings.
