Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group

SMOG's physicians are actively involved in research and education through the Santa Monica Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group Research Foundation.  The Foundation, and its Fellowship Program, has lead efforts in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, University of Southern California, and many other national and international medical institutes, including the ACL Prevention Project, among many others.

The mission of the Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Research Foundation is to achieve scientific excellence by examining existing orthopedic and neurologic conditions using sound scientific methodology. The goal is to identify the mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal injuries and to discover and develop effective interventions for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these injuries.
