The fellowship distinguishes itself by having one of the largest CAQ faculty along with one of the most extensive and diverse team coverage experiences.

The fellows' sporting event coverage includes the Bay State Games and the Boston Marathon. 

A core component to the fellowship is the extensive clinical experience gained at the UMassMemorial Sports Medicine Center. The Sports Medicine Center is a high volume, multi-disciplinary sports medicine center treating athletes of all ages and abilities from the the recreational to the professional. Research and scholarly work is emphasized throughout, including teaching, required research, writing projects, presentations at national conferences, and formal didactics.
