According to William E. Garrett, Jr., MD, PhD Visiting Professor Bruce Reider, MD, “Yes…and no. Studies show that injury reduction is possible when you engage in equipment changes, rule changes, and training programs. However, compliance is vital. The athlete must follow through if a training program has been assigned.”

When publishing scholarly work, what’s the best way to list the authors?  If you get a scathing letter about your work, do you have to respond?  Is it okay to use Chat GPT to help draft your article? These were among the questions fielded by participants on the panel, “Publication, Ethics and Professionalism,” at Duke Sports Medicine’s 4th Annual William E. Garrett Jr. MD, PhD Research Day on June 28, 2023.

The Duke Orthopaedic Pediatric team hosted an annual 'camp' experience for patients and families. Led by Pediatric Division Chair, Robert Lark, MD, the event brought together the talents of Anthony Catanzano, MD; Mary Walker, PT, DPT; Jane Pederson, PT; and Ashley Meadows, CPO. Participants received a myriad of helpful services, including: 

The Precision Rehabilitation and Innovation in CardioMetabolic Health (PRIME) Lab team studies innovative and precision rehabilitation strategies to enhance cardiometabolic health. Through their studies, they aim to determine how exercise mode, frequency, intensity, and concomitant therapies (nutritional, pharmacologic, gene therapy) modulate physiologic and molecular mediators of cardiometabolic function, primarily focusing on the substrate (e.g., amino acid, glucose, fatty acid) metabolism, energetic, and functional abnormalities in skeletal muscle and heart.

“I am excited to care for pediatric patients with complex problems and partner with my Duke Orthopaedic colleagues, who provide excellent patient care but also want to help drive improvements in our field overall.”   

This week, the Duke Pathway to Orthopaedic Mentorship (DPOM) Program hosted a successful "Research Pearls & Pitfalls" session.   The DPOM program was co-founded by Rafael Baker, MD, and is now under the leadership of Prince Boadi (MS3). The most important differentiator of this program is that students lead it, and it is for students, which makes the offerings authentic and relevant. Erica Taylor, MD, MBA, is the faculty advisor.
