Biography
Dr. Beutler is a faculty member in the Department of Family Medicine and the medical director of the USU Injury Prevention Research Laboratory (don't let the "director" title fool you: he's the only sports doc there, so of course he's the director!) He enjoys basketball, bike-riding, and writing IRB proposals while jabbing sharp sticks into his eyes in his spare time.
Education and Research
Dr. Beutler is an acclaimed international educator and researcher in sports medicine and musculoskeletal injury prevention. He directs the Tri-service military sports medicine fellowship in Washington DC and is the educational director for 12 sports medicine fellows in the National Capital Sports Medicine Consortium each year. As a member of the JUMP-ACL Partnership and of the CHAMP Consortiums, his study teams have received multiple national grants and awards for their ground-breaking work in injury prevention and injury prediction, both in military and civilian populations. Col Beutler has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, edited a sports medicine textbook, and successfully evoked deep slumber and copious drool from unsuspecting lecture attendees around the world.
Executive Leadership
Lt Col Beutler is on the executive committee for multiple national and military organizations dedicated to improving the health and safety of military and civilian populations. As a member of the Consortium for Health and Military Performance (CHAMP) at USU, Dr. Beutler works to translate scientific knowledge into policies and clinical practice that optimize physical resilience in military warfighters.
Background and Personal Data
Dr. Beutler was born in Lafeyette, Indiana. His Hoosier birthright proving insufficient to overcome his congenital lack of athletic talent--he was forced to seek gainful employment outside the NBA. Due to circumstances largely beyond his control, he received his M.D. from Duke University and is an active member of the AOA. Upon arriving home, he transforms into a large plaything for his children.
Research Interests
ACL Injury mechanisms, musculoskeletal injury mechanisms, post-traumatic arthritis, musculoskeletal education, sudden death in athletes, and exercise as a treatment for anything

He transitioned to the Army ROTC program at Ohio University where he graduated as the Distinguished Military Graduate in 2001 with a bachelor of sciences in Chemistry. He completed his osteopathic medical training at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2005 before moving to the Pacific Northwest for residency training at Madigan Army Medical Center.

He deployed to Baghdad Iraq with the 28th Combat Support Hospital out of Fort Bragg, NC in 2009 through 2010. Upon returning to Landstuhl he took a leading role in the hospital’s implementation of the Patient-centered Medical Home rollout, championing team-based documentation. He returned to Madigan Army Medical Center in 2011 and completed his Faculty Development Fellowship in 2013 while earning his Masters in Business Administration with honors from Pacific Lutheran University.
