OSMI - Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute

Established to consolidate patient-oriented research and clinical services, the UF&Shands Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute provides a dynamic climate for orthopaedic medical care.

The spacious 127,000 square foot facility became open to the public in September 2004. Over 250 medical and support staff work collaboratively to treat a full range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Our team consists of leading orthopaedic surgeons, rehabilitation physicians and basic scientists - many of whom are recognized leaders in their field - in addition to clinical and research fellows, residents, engineers, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, technicians and support personnel.

Daily interaction among these groups allows discoveries in the basic sciences to be applied to patient care much more rapidly.
