Michael R. Mancini, BS is a fourth-year medical student at the Frank H. Netter, MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University. He grew up in Connecticut and received his Bachelor of Science degree from Trinity College. While at Trinity, he was elected captain of his football team and a was finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, considered the “Academic Heisman” trophy of NCAA football. Between his third and fourth years of medical school, he completed a research fellowship at the Musculoskeletal Institute at the University of Connecticut with Augustus D. Mazzocca, MS, MD, and Robert A. Arciero, MD. His research experiences include biomechanical and clinical outcome evaluations of glenohumeral instability, rotator cuff repairs, acromioclavicular joint injuries, and other sport-related pathologies. He is currently applying for an orthopaedic surgery residency position.
