Vermont Business Magazine Ivette Guttmann, MD, a sports medicine physician with SVMC Orthopedics, part of Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC) and Southwestern Vermont Health Care (SVHC) in Bennington, has something in common with the best athletes in the world; she dreams of going to the Olympic Games. His hope is to serve the athletes as a volunteer doctor.
“I am an athlete at heart and the Olympics is something I have always aspired to,” Guttmann said. “Although I did not participate in the Olympics as an athlete, I hope to be able to use my skills as a doctor to serve the American team”
Initially, Dr. Guttmann will serve as the lead physician at the FISU World University Games Lake Placid 2023 from January 11-22. The 11-day multi-sport and educational winter festival will bring together more than 2,500 athletes and delegates from 600 universities and 50-plus nations to compete in 12 sports and 86 medals.
From Lake Placid, she will travel to the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs from January 22 to February 4. After that month-long training with elite athletes in Lake Placid and Colorado, she could be chosen to serve as a team doctor at an upcoming Olympics.
“I expect volunteering with elite athletes at the World University Games and the United States Olympic Training Center this winter will provide valuable insights,” Guttmann said. “Serving the Olympians would be a huge honor, a great challenge and an invigorating experience that I can bring back to my patients and my community. »
