Team Coverage

Developing into a skilled team physician is a major priority of the program. Team physician assignments include high school, collegiate, and professional teams:

Teams Covered:

• NFL Houston Texans
• NBA Houston Rockets
• MLB Houston Astros
• MLS Houston Dynamo
• University of Houston
• High School Football Teams

The fellows’ team physician responsibilities include, but are not limited to preseason and in-season evaluation of athletes, on-field management of emergent and non-emergent injuries, and the development of leadership skills necessary to be a successful team physician. Each fellow is assigned a high school and serves as the primary provider throughout the year under the supervision of an attending physician. Attendance at professional and collegiate home events with faculty allows for real-life game experience and decision-making on multiple levels of play.
