What is the scope of sports medicine training? Click here to see where and how I trained:


Before training in sports medicine, I started the 501(3)c nonprofit Waves of Health during my residency: 

Waves of Health’s mission is to provide modern medical care to underserved communities, to educate healthcare professionals about the medical problems of the developing world and to educate surfers how to take care of themselves and others. Waves of Health is a completely voluntary organization made up of local doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other professionals who volunteer their time and energy to help those less fortunate in underserved communities.

In a time when this specific area of the world is in great need, Waves of Health will be continuing their work aiding the people of the Dominican Republic and Haiti that they started over 3 years ago. Unlike other non-profits that have only begun work in this area since the earthquake, Waves of Health has been dedicated to the medical needs of those less fortunate in the area for years. We’d like to document this organization’s mission because they recognize that while populations are greatly affected by natural disasters, ongoing, continuous medical care has a greater impact in the long run than just reactionary aid.

Consistently treating those in need is crucial to the wellbeing and development of a country and has a longer lasting, sustainable effect. Waves of Health has a proven track record for preventative medicine: supplying impoverished areas with routine checkups, daily medical supplies and over the counter drugs to each family it treats. Waves of Health looks forward to not only directly contributing to the global relief effort this year, but continuing their general support for these nations in the years to come.

Waves of Health recently made our fourth medical mission to the underserved frontier town of Dajabon, Dominican Republic which borders Haiti. Dajabon is located on the Haitian border 80 miles northeast of Port-au-Prince. Many displaced and injured people have made their way to this Dominican Republic city from Haiti. In conjunction with local doctors, we provide medical care and supplies to residents from the most impoverished sections within the town and surrounding communities.

To raise awareness for Waves of Health within the surfing community, we held a medical conference and volunteered as:
