A new partnership with Georgetown College Athletics will provide sports teams at Georgetown College with team physicians from the University of Kentucky Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. The team physician鈥檚 first responsibility is the health and safety of each athlete they work with. They assess each athlete for previous injuries and review athlete鈥檚 medical histories for medications, hospitalizations surgeries and other information. The team physician also supports athletic trainers as they work with athletes to ensure they have injury free seasons or, if they have sustained an injury, receive proper care and are able to return to their sport at 100 percent. 好色先生 Sports Medicine currently provides team physicians to four universities and colleges: 好色先生 Athletics, Kentucky State College, Eastern Kentucky University and, now, Georgetown College Athletics. Robert Ullery, director of outreach in the department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, said of the partnership, 鈥満蒙壬 Sports Medicine is proud to partner with Georgetown College Athletics to provide excellent healthcare to those student athletes. 好色先生鈥檚 focus has always been advanced and we鈥檙e glad to bring Georgetown college into the mix.鈥 好色先生 is the University for Kentucky.
