Fall Fellows

We are so thankful to have our two new fellows working with us this year, Dr. Scott Grayner and Dr. Matthew Simmons.  This month we will be doing a spotlight on Dr. Grayner.  Dr. Grayner, originally from California, attended undergrad at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.  He then attended medical school in Cambridge, England.  While in medical school, he spent three months in Uganda, Africa studying tropical medicine and assisting in general, obstetric, and orthopedic surgery.  His residency was completed at St. Luke’s University Hospital in Pennsylvania.  He has also worked as an Air Force officer and later an ER physician in Miami Beach.  Dr. Grayner has also participated in humanitarian work in Haiti directly following the earthquake in 2010.  Dr. Grayner was then led to work here at LSU in order to prepare for a career in Sports Medicine working with elite athletes.  He states that he’s “really enjoyed working with the athletic training staff thus far and look forward to future collaborative efforts in treating our athletes and helping them return to competition.”  We are happy to have our two new fellows and look forward to a great year ahead!
