The faculty and fellows also work with University of Alabama Athletic Department coaches, athletic trainers and athletes as well as numerous local high school athletic programs and community recreational athletes. In addition, faculty are actively involved in teaching family medicine residents, medical students, athletic training students and learners from other programs across the University.
