Center Director, Dr. Trent A. Petrie and doctoral student Macey Arnold, along with Kyla A. Petrie, M.D., received a research grant from the Association for Applied Sport Psychology for the 2024-2025 academic year. The research project entitled "Pre-performance routines, ideal psychological states, and perceived surgical outcomes among orthopedic surgeons and residents" will focus on interview orthopedic surgeons and residents to understand how they prepare themselves psychologically for their surgeries and how they describe their ideal performance states. Data from this study will be used to inform future training opportunities for orthopedic surgeons to help them be more consistent and effective in their surgeries.
