Dr. Shybut completed his residency at the New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases, now called NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital, where his sports medicine experience included the care of NYU athletes.

During his fellowship, Dr. Shybut obtained in-depth exposure to professional and elite sports, assisting in the care of the NFL Texans, MLB Astros, MLS Dynamo, NBA Rockets, and NCAA University of Houston.

Dr. Shybut was recruited to join the faculty at Baylor, where he spent over a decade in academic practice, performing a high volume of complex and reconstructive knee, shoulder, and elbow surgeries while training residents and fellows and performing research.
