January Heat Wave

This is the Season3 premiere of Radio Rounds, which aired on January 3, 2010 and is available as a free download on our iTunes page!

Indeed, Season 3 of Radio Rounds got off to a hot start, so to speak, as the ‘Rounds crew’ welcomed special guest Dr. Harlan Selesnick, the team physician for the NBA’s Miami Heat.

Dr. Selesnick also served in 2000 as the physician for the Gold Medalist U.S Men’s Olympic Basketball Team in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Selesnick shares with the Radio Rounds team the intricacies of his orthopedic practice in Miami, as well as the rewards and challenges of working regularly with high-profile professional athletes. He also discusses how he came to be a sports team physician in the first place, and he takes us all behind-the-scenes of his popular “The Jock Doc” column for The Miami Herald.
