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!
