The University of Washington Sports Medicine Fellowship Program is committed to supporting a diverse, inclusive, and equitable learning environment. We uphold these values regardless of race, culture, ethnicity, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, spirituality, age, socioeconomic status, and mental and physical status.

Our program strives toward anti-racism through efforts to promote racial equity in training, patient care, scholarship, and community service.
