Rotations

Dr. Pierre d’Hemecourt anchors the ultrasound curriculum at the Boston Children’s Hospital Division of Sports Medicine. Each fellow averages 3 days/week in ultrasound clinic, developing diagnostic and injection skills. In addition to the Boston campus, additional satellite locations may be utilized. There may be additional clinic time, predominantly with other members of the Sports Medicine faculty, and the fellow generally has 1-1.5 independent clinics per week. Ultrasound is also often used in clinics for additional opportunities for fellows to learn these skills. Fellows also assist teaching two ultrasound courses to the public each year. Protected research time is also provided.

About Boston Children's Hospital

Our team is made up of leaders in sports medicine who understand the importance of sports in a young athlete’s life. Many of us played competitive sports in high school and college, and some of us competed at a national level and international level. Some of us are team physicians for nationally renowned organizations such as U.S. Rowing, U.S. Figure Skating, the Boston Ballet, and the Boston Marathon. We collaborate with local, national, and international organizations such as the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on improving policies and the care of female athletes. We respect the strength and determination of female athletes and work with our patients to help them reach their athletic potential.
