 My name is Idris Amin, and I'm an assistant professor in the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. So I am a sports medicine physiatrist, which means I'm a non-operative specialist. So my goal is really to keep my patients away from surgery if possible. Even though I'm a sports medicine doctor, I see patients of all types and ages, including the weekend warriors, those who are trying to get back into activity and really, you know, helping them get more active. So I did my medical school training at the Downstate University Medical Center in New York. And from there, I went to New York University for my physical medicine and rehabilitation residency, physiatry for short. And then I did additional specialization in sports medicine at New York Presbyterian Hospital. So I kind of was first interested in sports medicine, even as a child. I remember watching, you know, my Mets games with my dad at Shea Stadium. And what was interesting is I kind of was drawn to the people who were attending to my favorite athletes and really, you know, trying to get them back to a high level of playing. And I remember that's kind of something I wanted to be a part of. In high school, I got involved with physical therapy through a volunteer program. And that's really where I found my love for the biomechanics of the human body, which is so important to kind of heal. And in medical school is when I was first introduced to the field of physiatry. And I knew that all my interests that I had gone, gotten throughout my life kind of made sense with that field. As a nonoperative specialist, I, you know, take my time to really evaluate patients. Figuring out the root cause of the problem is the most exciting thing. We can all offer treatments, but if we fix the biomechanical things which I focus on, we can really get better.
