- Chief Medical Officer
On February 3, 2026, Mizzou Athletics named seasoned sports and family medicine physician Dr. Tiffany Bohon, a Missouri alumna and former student-athlete to the role of Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Bohon will lead medical services across all programs, bringing together physicians, orthopedic specialists, rehabilitation therapists and other experts to provide care for Mizzou student-athletes.
"By embedding Dr. Bohon as the full-time Chief Medical Officer within Mizzou Athletics, we are elevating the level of care available to our student-athletes and ensuring they have access to world-class medical expertise every day," said Dr. James Stannard, chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and medical director of the Missouri Orthopedic Institute. "Mizzou teams will benefit not only from enhanced medical resources but also from care that is responsive and integrated within their daily routines."
Dr. Bohon brings both deep personal connection to Mizzou and extensive experience in sports medicine, making her uniquely positioned for this leadership role. She is a native of Columbia and was a four-year letterwinner for the Mizzou swimming and diving program, serving as team captain as a senior while setting multiple team records.
While completing medical school and Family Medicine residency at MU, Dr. Bohon trained under Dr. Jim Kinderknecht, a longtime Mizzou Athletics physician. She then completed a sports medicine fellowship in New York at the Hospital for Special Surgery, also with Dr. Kinderknecht, during which she worked with St. John's University, the New York Giants, and the New York Mets.
Dr. Bohon began working with the Mizzou swimming and diving teams in 2015. She has also served as a team physician for USA Swimming. In 2020, she was promoted to Mizzou Athletics' Associate Head Team Physician and began working closely with the football program.
