Awards & recognitions

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine Junior Traveling Fellows

Dr. Smoot was one of only three sports medicine providers selected by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) to travel to Japan from Sept. 17 through Oct. 2, 2019 with Senior Fellow Brian Halpern, MD, a founder and past president of AMSSM.  

The purpose of the AMSSM Traveling Fellowship program is to encourage academic interchange, share research and explore common clinical interests among sports medicine leaders. The experience includes the opportunity to view live patient encounters, tour sports medicine facilities, share cases and spend time with regional experts in sports medicine.

The Traveling Fellowship program is funded from an educational grant provided to the AMSSM Foundation from DJO Global.

"I am excited to represent the AMSSM in 2019 as a traveling fellow to Japan," Smoot said. "The opportunity to learn of international models of sports medicine care and possible clinical and academic collaboration with our colleagues from Japan is truly an honor. I thank the AMSSM Foundation and DJO Global for supporting this activity.

    I went in expecting to get a steroid shot. After Dr. Smoot explained things to me, we decided that it wasn't a good option. Typically, I would've left disappointed, but I left with more information about my arm and an even better plan of action for how to treat it. It was great service and I appreciate that he was willing to educate me!

      I wish the doctors had asked me about how my problem affected my daily life. The doctors looked at my x-rays and had the caused problem diagnosed before walking into the room. I felt like a pair of knees not a person!

      He was rude and had decided what he was going to do and I did not get to express my wishes nor did I get to ask any questions. His treatment has not worked and I'm loosing use of my arm and in severe pain. Only gave me Tylenol. This is the worst I have been treated at UK healthcare

      Dr. Smoot is very personable and provided the best explanation for a particular treatment path of any of the 3 other Drs I've seen in the past 5 years (and I did not accept the treatment from them). Then gave me time to decide on a path. He earned my trust.
