2023 President’s Award

Dr. Martin Boublik, MD

Dr. Boublik began his history in Colorado in 1992 as one of the first sports medicine fellows of the esteemed Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Vail. He opened the Steadman Hawkins Clinic Denver in 1993. In setting up his clinic, Dr. Boublik has hired athletic trainers to help on the rehabilitation side and provide outreach to several high schools.  Along with opening up the clinic, he became a team physician for the Denver Broncos Professional Football Team and, as the clinic acquired the rights to the Colorado Rockies, Dr. Boublik became their associate team physician.  Dr. Boublik was able to develop strong relationships with some of the highest level ATs in Colorado. He understands how valuable those providers are for the welfare of the athletes.

​

He has  been part of the Cherry Creek High School (CCHS) athletics program, working with the athletes of CCHS since 1997.  Dr. Boublik has also served as part of the CCSD Medical Advisory Board, setting up policy and procedures as the orthopedic/sports medicine expert. This relationship was crucial in UCHealth becoming the AT providers for the six high schools in the CCSD in 2020. He has never wavered in his support of the secondary school student-athletes and ATs in the schools.

​

Dr. Boublik has been a strong supporter of athletic training licensure in Colorado and lent his time to promote the value of ATs. He has been a great reference for government officials with questions, comments, and concerns of the AT licensure Bill in 2019 that eventually passed. He has taken the opportunity to speak at the RMATA Annual Clinical Symposium in the past and has spoken locally at various continuing education courses.
