The Division of Sports Medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness and the treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise.

We have three board-certified emergency medicine physicians who are also boarded in sports medicine. Additionally, our faculty and fellows are embedded within WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, giving our fellows and faculty the opportunity to practice sports medicine within the realm of a Power 5 athletic department.
