Current Fellows | Class of 2025

Chad Cohen, D.O.

Medical School: University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine
Residency: Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Why I chose Johns Hopkins: Drs. Emam and Coslick, along with the rest of the sports med team, are some of the best attendings and mentors a fellow can have. Additionally, we get extensive experience in diagnostic and procedural ultrasound, performing a lot of unique procedures and seeing complex pathologies that few other institutions get a chance to treat. I was fortunate enough to be at Johns Hopkins for my residency training and could not envision a better program to continue my fellowship year at!

Michelle Eventov, M.D.

Medical School: Wayne State University School of Medicine
Residency: University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Why I chose Johns Hopkins: There really is no better place to train. I could not ask for a better group of individuals to learn from, who prioritize teaching and excellent patient care. The diversity of patients and athletes we care for as well as the numerous opportunities to be involved on the sidelines of various sporting events are reasons I knew this program would be a great fit!
