A sports medicine degree would take the same legth of time as a medical physicain. Most medical degrees take 6-10 years to obtain. As well as an internship.
You would need a medical degree. how long dose it take and what kind of classes do you need to take
An associate degree in sports medicine generally takes two-years. During the coursework, students learn sports nutrition, physiological aspects of sports science and medicine, and learn how to assess injuries and provide therapy for rehabilitation purposes.
There is no such degree.
It depends on what type of degree you are interested in pursuing. If you simply want a "sports medicine" certificate then it may take up to two years. An associates degree would take about the same amount of time. A bachelor's degree however requires completion of all required undergraduate classes (4 years). A master's degree would be completed 2 years after undergraduate school (6 years). A doctoral degree would be 2 years after completion of master's degree (8 years), yet keep in mind when pursuing a career on the doctoral level, it would have be accompanied by residency which is training in a particular medical category (orthopaedics, Physical Therapy, chiropractics, etc.) (between 2 and 6 years). In total, if you would like to obtain the highest educational degree in sports medicine it could easily take up to 14 years for you to be completely independent.
Sports medicine basically originated a long time ago, in Greek and Roman empires. They would use sticks, stones, cloths, anything to hold gladiators together after a fierce battle in the coliseums.
no such thing
Sports medicine primarily deals with injuries commonly occurring in sports, such as rolling an ankle, or overuse of a particular muscle or ligament because of playing one sport too long.
As a physician, sports medicine is a subspecialty of family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, physical medicine/rehab, pediatrics, or orthopedic surgery. This being said, sports medicine is not a residency, it is a fellowship. A physician must complete a residency in one of the aforementioned specialties prior to applying for and initiating sports medicine specific training. The previously listed residencies last from 3-5 years depending on the individual specialty, and in turn adding additional qualification in sports medicine would require 1 additional year of fellowship level training. In doing so, one would obtain a variety of procedural and diagnostic skills, as well as gain an increased familiarity with specific musculoskeletal imaging.
It would take four years for the bachelor's degree, and four years of medical school. There will be an additional three or more years to complete the internship and residency requirements.
