First-year residents

Sideline coverage is not assigned in the first year of residency due to licensure. It's recommended that you focus on residency requirements and study during your first year. Sideline observation may be available.

Second- and third-year residents

Sideline coverage as a team physician should be coordinated and precepted through your residency program. It's optimal for the high school community you serve if there is continuity of service during both second and third years. For assistance with coordination, please contact Brenda Dolejs, 612-626-2338, dole0010@umn.edu
