Rush Fellowship Research Cougar Award

At the forefront of sports medicine and orthopedic research, Rush University's Sports Medicine Fellowship proudly introduces the Cougar Award. This prestigious accolade is designed to recognize and celebrate the outstanding research achievements of our fellows, embodying the spirit of innovation and commitment to excellence that defines our program.

A Legacy of Excellence:

The Cougar Award is not just a recognition but a legacy. It echoes the achievements of past fellows who have published extensively during their tenure, with some achieving the remarkable feat of over ten publications. It's an inspiration for current and future fellows, setting a high standard of academic and clinical research. Recipients of the Cougar Award are celebrated for their exceptional contributions to sports medicine research. Their work not only advances the field but also plays a pivotal role in enhancing patient care and treatment outcomes. The award is presented at the Rush Sports Medicine Fellowship Alumni Annual Meeting in July, a culmination of a year of intense research and dedication.
