In His Own Words:

“I am tremendously grateful to have matched at USF for sports medicine! When applying to sports medicine fellowships I was looking for broad sports coverage, faculty passionate about teaching, and training that would prepare me for any sports medicine setting—all attributes of the USF sports medicine program. It was also great to hear from previous fellows who reiterated the faculty’s passion for teaching and the program’s impressive breadth of sports coverage.”

In His Own Words:

"I have been interested in the USF-MPM Sports Medicine program since graduating college. Being a sports medicine physician was always the dream for me, and at that time, I knew USF had a great program. Bolstered since then by the "Champa Bay" success, sports have become a centerpiece in the city of Tampa, Florida. This program is affiliated with a division one university, professional football team and two baseball teams, along with robust local high school athletics and distance marathons, offering plenty of coverage experience at a wide range of athlete development and sport. Moreover, the backing of a strong academic institution with longstanding presence and reliability in the area creates a credible curriculum with excellent community preceptors." 

About Dr. Bindas:

Dr Bindas was originally born is Massachusetts before moving at young age to Dr Phillips, Orlando, Florida where he grew up. He has been involved in athletics since a young age and suffered many injuries throughout high school and college. Getting first-hand experience in sports medicine by his own injuries, and getting certified in exercise physiology and strength and conditioning made the foundation for a career in sports medicine. Dr Bindas completed his medical school and residency with the University of South Florida, prior to starting fellowship here as well. He has a passion for family medicine and sports medicine and would like to practice in the greater Tampa Bay area after competing fellowship.
