We are excited to announce that Dr. Kelms Amoo-Achampong has accepted the role of Medical Director for the Master of Science in Athletic Training Program at Sacred Heart UniversityOpens in a New Window.  

In this distinguished leadership role, Dr. Amoo-Achampong will play a crucial part in supporting the MSAT Program’s mission to prepare future athletic trainers through high-quality education and clinical training.  

Dr. Amoo-Achampong will advise on the development and continuous evaluation of the MSAT curriculum, collaborate with the Program Director to ensure instructional and clinical excellence, and review medical content for clinical accuracy and relevance. He will also support accreditation processes, including self-studies and site visits, and assist in the development and maintenance of clinical site partnerships. Additionally, Dr. Amoo-Achampong will act as a key educational resource for faculty and students and support the training of clinical preceptors and experiential learning opportunities. 

His appointment reflects the high standard of care, expertise, and leadership he brings to our practice every day. We are confident that his involvement will not only strengthen the MSAT Program but also help shape the future of athletic training and sports medicine education.  

After over 30 years of dedicated service, Mark Wilchinsky, MD is retiring from our practice. While Connecticut Orthopaedics will miss Dr. Wilchinsky’s presence and leadership, we are grateful for the years of hard work and the positive influence he has had on our team. He is excited to have free time to golf with his friends, travel with his wife Viki and spend quality time with Rocky, their puggle. We would like to express our gratitude for the excellent care he has provided for thousands of patients during his illustrious career. Please join us in wishing Dr. Wilchinsky all the best in this next chapter!
