Dr. Wisotzky was selected to be the team physician for the U.S. military triathlon team at the World Military Games in Mumbai, India. He received a Navy Commendation Medal for his military service.

Several months of this residency program included training in cancer rehabilitation at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
