Sports Medicine Fellowship


Welcome to Saint Agnes Medical Center's Sports Medicine Fellowship Program!

We are a community-based Sports Medicine Fellowship located in Fresno, California (population 544,510). Fresno and its surrounding areas are home to many rural and underserved communities with a diverse population. Our program aims to produce Sports Medicine physicians who will advocate for the patients they will be caring for within the communities they serve.
Graduates will be competent in providing comprehensive sports medicine care. Our inaugural class of 1 fellow started in July 2023 and we just started our second fellow in July 2024. Our 1-year fellowship program contains rotations in sports medicine, orthopedics, pain management, radiology, trauma and electives.
The Sports Medicine fellowship at Saint Agnes Medical Center is located in the heart of Fresno, CA, which is the 5th largest city in California and known as the agricultural capital of the world. Fresno’s cost of living is relatively inexpensive and very affordable and home to amazing school districts. Fresno’s diverse population offers a vast variety of food and culture.
From the unique Tower District with its eclectic stores and coffee shops, to local wineries and breweries, to numerous farmers markets and community activities, Fresno offers a little bit of something for everyone. Our growing city is within 50 miles of Kings Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Park, and Yosemite National Park and 2-4 hours from major cities making weekend trips to San Francisco, Los Angeles, the Central Coast and Napa easy.

We are truly located in an ideal location that is in close proximity to whatever adventure awaits you.
