He gained extensive experience in general orthopaedics and orthopaedic rehabilitation in the U.S. Army medical corps from 1957 to 1967. After completing his military tour of duty as a Lt. Colonel, he served as a private practitioner (operative and non-operative) in Birmingham Alabama from 1967-1986. At this time he joined the Vanderbilt team, and from 1987 to 1993 served as the medical director of the 28 bed orthopaedics and neurology rehabilitation center. From 1993 to 1996 he was the medical director of the Orthopaedic Rehabilitation unit at Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital and also the medical director for Vanderbilt Hospital Rehabilitation Services from 1987 to 1998. During his years at Vanderbilt, Dr. Watson also served as Chief of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service at the Nashville Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
