What is a sports medicine physician? A sports medicine physician is a medical doctor that has specialized training to deal with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injury and disease while promoting lifelong fitness and wellness. They serve as the leader of the sports medicine team. Sports medicine physicians obtain a 4 year undergraduate degree followed by a 4 year medical degree. Following completion off medical school, these doctors enter residency and specialize in a variety of fields including family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, pediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation. These residencies range from 3-4 years in length and followed by 1-2 years of additional training in a sports medicine fellowship. Board certified physicians are then eligible to take an exam to become certified in sports medicine. In the United States, physicians earn a certificate of added qualifications in sports medicine (CAQSM). Testing is offered twice annually and recertification occurs in the 9th or 10th year of the certificate. Once completing their training, sports medicine physicians serve as the head of the sports medicine team which includes athletic trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists and other health professionals. Common problems that sports medicine physicians are trained in treating include acute injuries such as fractures, ligament tears, cartilage damage as well as chronic conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, as well as stress fractures. They also have training in other aspects of sports medicine including mild traumatic brain injury, nutrition, supplementation, exercise performance, and injury prevention. Many sports medicine physicians serve as team physicians for local or national teams/clubs involving amateur and professional athletes. Duties under this role include pre-participation physicals, injury assessment/management, strength training/conditioning, medical coverage of events, and education. A sports medicine physician serves a unique role in the field of health care and provides a variety of services to both professional and amateur athletes.
