Banner Orthopedics & Sports Medicine: Talent

Residencies & Fellowships in Orthopedics/Sports Medicine Subspecialties
Initiative Goal: $5,000,000
Highly sought Residency training program positions give Arizona medical school graduates and graduates of top schools around the nation four to five years of hands-on training in Arizona, increasing the likelihood they will live and practice here. After residency training is complete, Fellowships give physicians the opportunity to acquire the sub-specialty knowledge, clinical judgment, and literature evaluation skills necessary to practice sports medicine and recruit nationally renowned medical talent to Arizona. Banner Health proposes to establish endowments to support new clinical Residencies and Fellowships in key orthopedics and sports medicine subspecialties, to help us recruit and train the best and brightest new practitioners in the field.

Endowed Leadership Positions in Sports Medicine
Initiative Goal: $3,000,000 each
Endowed leadership positions are a hallmark of institutions that put an emphasis on the highest levels of medical care, education, and research and are one of the most prestigious honors bestowed on a physician. These positions help to attract and retain the most talented physician and research leaders and enhance the reputation of the organization, which then helps to attract other renowned clinicians and staff. Endowed chairs also provide an important source of sustainable funding for physician leaders to advance their specialties.
