Cleveland Browns team doctor to become president of NFL Physicians Society

Описание: Monica Robins has more on the Cleveland Browns team doctor set to become head of the NFL Physicians Society.

We all know the physical risks of the gridiron. Every season, we see football players suffer serious injuries, so it's not surprising that every team has its own doctor on the sidelines.

Dr. James Voos has been part of the Browns since 2014, when the orthopedic surgeon became their team doctor. He's passionate, not only about protecting pro athletes, but also about learning how their experiences can help everyday patients.

"It hits from several directions, and one is in the operating room as we develop new surgical procedures to help our athletes get back out on the field, we're able to utilize those same procedures with our weekend Warriors and everyday patients that may have had an injury," Voos said.

Besides his duties with the Browns, Voos holds several other job titles. For instance, he currently serves as chairman of the orthopedics departments at University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University, which includes overseeing their renowned orthopedic training programs and research divisions.

He's also vice president of the NFL Physicians Society, the elite group of doctors who care for 1,600 professional football players across 32 teams. Next year, he becomes president, and says the biggest game changer he's witnessed during his time with the organization is how pro sports medical care has shifted its focus.
