Awards & recognitions

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine Junior Traveling Fellows

Dr. Smoot was one of only three sports medicine providers selected by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) to travel to Japan from Sept. 17 through Oct. 2, 2019 with Senior Fellow Brian Halpern, MD, a founder and past president of AMSSM.  

The purpose of the AMSSM Traveling Fellowship program is to encourage academic interchange, share research and explore common clinical interests among sports medicine leaders. The experience includes the opportunity to view live patient encounters, tour sports medicine facilities, share cases and spend time with regional experts in sports medicine.

The Traveling Fellowship program is funded from an educational grant provided to the AMSSM Foundation from DJO Global.

"I am excited to represent the AMSSM in 2019 as a traveling fellow to Japan," Smoot said. "The opportunity to learn of international models of sports medicine care and possible clinical and academic collaboration with our colleagues from Japan is truly an honor. I thank the AMSSM Foundation and DJO Global for supporting this activity.

      This is my first time seeing Dr Smoot and I do like him and trust him and nobody so far has pushed me into trying to have a knee replacement. Quite the contrary, they say, if what they are doing to keep me from having a knee replacement works for me than that works for them.
