He served as the head primary care sports medicine physician for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks for over seven years and a team physician for the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. His sports medicine experience includes caring for six NCAA College World Series teams, including the 2010 and 2011 NCAA College World Series Champion Gamecocks as well as multiple NCAA Track and Cross-Country Championship Razorback teams. In addition to his SEC experience, Dr. Ylanan has provided cared for the Columbia and Alabama Ballet companies, multiple high school programs in the Birmingham, Ala., Columbia, S.C., and Fayetteville, Ark., areas, and has served as medical director for the HogEye Marathon.
Dr. Ylanan obtained his bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Virginia and earned his medical degree from Ross University.
