The running athlete is a focal point of the clinical work Dr. Petering does. His background in primary care sports medicine offers a comprehensive approach to running athletes including diagnosis, management and return to running from musculoskeletal injuries. In addition, primary care for runners including health maintenance, injury prevention, mental health and well-being are topics that are integrated in the care provided for athletes.

He is the director to two national continuing medical education events annually that host participants from around the country with emphasis on point of care ultrasound of the musculoskeletal system.

I grew up in the heart of the Midwest and came by my love of nature and sports naturally. My affinity for movement, athletics, and health ultimately led me to medical school and I graduated from Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. When I completed my residency in Family Medicine with a focus on primary care sports medicine at The University of Virginia, I worked in a large academic setting and experienced Division 1 athletics for the first time. Following my residency, I completed a primary care sports medicine fellowship at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where I had the chance to work with students, student-athletes, and professional athletes.
I then moved to Western North Carolina in 2013 where I served as the Sports Medicine Director and Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Director for a large academic institution, was the Head Team Physician for UNC-Asheville, and held an appointment as a Clinical Assistant Professor for the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
I moved to the PNW in 2021 and currently provide care for the University of Oregon Athletics Department as a Head Team Physician and am the Sports Medicine Director for University Health Services at the University of Oregon. I continue my academic work as an Adjunct Faculty member for the Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship at OHSU.
