Bayhealth sports medicine fellowship merits initial accreditation

Bayhealth’s sports medicine fellowship has been granted initial accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

The announcement marks an important milestone in Bayhealth’s commitment to expanding specialized training opportunities and delivering comprehensive musculoskeletal care to the community.

Bayhealth’s program is designed to provide fellows with advanced clinical experience in the diagnosis and management of sports-related injuries and medical conditions. It offers a dynamic educational environment that includes hands-on training in musculoskeletal ultrasound, joint injections, concussion management and sideline event coverage.

Led by Bayhealth sports medicine physician and Program Director Terrence Tsui, DO, the fellowship will accept one fellow per year. The inaugural fellow is expected to begin training July 1, 2026.

“We are excited to receive ACGME accreditation for our sports medicine fellowship,” said Tsui. “This recognition affirms our vision to provide a high-quality educational experience that prepares physicians to deliver specialized care for athletes and active individuals of all ages.”

The accreditation follows a thorough evaluation of the program’s curriculum, faculty, clinical resources and commitment to patient care. As an ACGME-accredited fellowship, the program is now eligible to participate in the National Resident Matching Program, offering applicants a transparent and standardized selection process.

“This fellowship is an important addition to our academic programs and a testament to our commitment to training the next generation of sports medicine physicians,” said Gary Siegelman, MD, MSc, Bayhealth senior vice president and chief medical officer. “By offering advanced, hands-on education, we’re investing in the future of patient care throughout our region.”

The sports medicine fellowship is the latest addition to Bayhealth’s expanding graduate medical education offerings, which now include more than 100 residents and fellows annually across six specialties. These programs play a vital role in training future physicians while enhancing the level of care available across the region.
