Tiger Sports Medicine Staff (Replaced 2022) - University of Memphis Athletics

Sports Medicine Home Staff Facilities

The sports medicine staff is surrounded by many qualified and generous team physicians who are available to the student-athletes at the University of Memphis.

Our Sports Medicine team consists of athletic trainers, physicians specializing in orthopedics and internal medicine, physical therapists, and chiropractors.

Dr. Barry Phillips and Dr. Fred Azar of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger Athletic teams, while Dr. Arthur Franklin serves as the team physicians, specializing in internal medicine.

Tiger student-athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately-owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the finest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis student-athletes.

The sports medicine staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffing all practices and games, as well as handling the day-to-day rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes.
