The Sports Medicine Club is a student-run, school sponsored organization designed to enrich medical school education in the field of Sports Medicine and Orthopedics. The Sports Medicine Club uses clinical education lectures and professional update lectures to disseminate Sports Medicine related information to students with and interest in Sports Medicine and Othropedics. The club uses social events to promote the UT College of Medicine on a local and regional level.
