Smith & Nephew Endoscopy, a division of the global medical devices company Smith & Nephew, has made a generous commitment to The Campbell Foundation to sponsor establishment of the first Sports Medicine Fellowship at UT-Campbell Clinic.

Applications for this Fellowship will be selected on competitive basis and must have completed an ACGME accredited residency program in orthopaedic surgery, or an AOA accredited residency in osteopathic surgery. The Fellowship will usually be filled through a national matching program.

Smith & Nephew Endoscopy is the world leader in arthoscopy, the minimally invasive surgery for articulating joints. In addition to offering surgeons a complete range Nephew Endoscopy backs its products with education and support programs for surgeons.

Dr. Frederick Azar, Sports Medicine Fellowship Director for The Campbell Foundation, said, "We are grateful to Smith & Nephew for helping us create this new fellowship. We know that the fellowship will benefit our patients by enhancing our sports medicine research, and it will compliment our residency training program."
