Education

Students interested in become a physician must first complete a bachelors degree with a pre-med concentration that provides them with a solid foundation in biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics. Gaining admission into medical school can be competitive, so students must complete the aforementioned courses and obtain excellent grades to be considered a viable applicant to medical schools.

Beyond this coursework, students will also be required to perform well on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) in order to secure a spot in medical school. While those interested in sports medicine are usually sports aficionados themselves (and therefore may take part in organized sports), this is in no way a requirement for admission into medical school or sports medicine.

Most sports medicine doctors complete a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree or a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree. These programs both involve four years of academic coursework in biology, biochemistry, anatomy, pathology, psychology, physiology, medical ethics and pharmacology. Following the completion of medical school, students are awarded their respective degree (M.D. or D.O). Next, these newly minted physicians must go on to complete a clinical residency, which provides them with several years of hands-on practice in a variety of clinical settings under the supervision of fully trained, attending physicians (see below).

Three-year clinical residencies in internal medicine, family medicine, or emergency medicine (or a four-year residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation) all offer suitable training for an aspiring sports medicine physician. Other, more surgically inclined students may instead opt for a five-year residency in orthopedic surgery. During residency, it may be possible to secure an elective rotation in sports medicine to gain early exposure.

All states require medical doctors to be licensed, so sports medicine doctors must check with their states licensing board for specific requirements.

In addition to a license, doctors may seek certification by a recognized professional organization. This certification will help make the doctor a better job candidate since it will show that he or she has met the organizations professional requirements and is staying up-to-date in developments in this subspecialty through continuing education courses. Certification in sports medicine is offered by the following organizations:

Since sports medicine is a subspecialty, doctors must get a certification of added qualification (CAQ) in sports medicine. To prepare for this, doctors complete a two-year fellowship in sports medicine at a hospital, rehabilitation facility or university athletic department. These two years expose doctors to different types of athletic-related injuries and methods of diagnosing and treating them. Additionally, the fellowship provides experience with orthopedic surgeries, rehabilitative techniques, brain trauma, nutrition, and performance psychology. Orthopedic surgeons can also apply for fellowships in this field, but added qualification certification is not required.

As with all physicians, specialists and non-specialists alike, sports medicine physicians must possess and demonstrate empathy, compassion, strong interpersonal communication abilities, and proficient problem-solving skills in order to provide timely diagnosis and optimal clinical outcomes for their patients. In addition, sports medicine physicians must also possess good physical health, dexterity, and stamina if they intend to perform physical therapy-related treatments.

Sports medicine doctors may opt to base their practice in outpatient clinics, large hospitals, or academic medical institutions. Those in private practice can establish their own practices, or join current groups with the ultimate aim of becoming a partner. Alternatively, a position in larger hospitals will provide the sports doctor with opportunities for advancement, depending on experience and continuing education. For example, after several years of productive performance, staff physicians may take on supervisory or management roles, potentially becoming chairperson of a department.

Sports Medicine - Rady Children's Hospital

What is a sports medicine doctor? Is there such a specialty?

Anyone can call themselves a "Sports Medicine" specialist, and this can be very misleading. In the United States, "sports medicine" is not a recognized residency training specialty. However, a doctor can achieve special qualifications in sports medicine AFTER completing a residency program in another specialty.

What specialties are those?

There are two types of "sports medicine" doctors. Non-surgical, or primary care sports medicine doctors, and orthopedic surgeons. Most primary care sports medicine doctors choose family medicine as their baseline training, which means they first complete 3 years of a family medicine residency after medical school, before embarking on their additional sports medicine training. Although family medicine is the most popular choice, other choices for initial residency training prior to doing sports medicine include pediatrics, internal medicine, emergency medicine, neuromusculoskeletal, and rehabilitation medicine. Each of these are non-surgical specialties. Orthopedic surgeons must of course complete an orthopedic surgery residency.

Then what?

Then, to pursue the primary care sports medicine path, the doctor applies for a 1-2 year sports medicine fellowship program. During fellowship training for primary care doctors, a great deal of time is spent learning more about sports injuries. Time is spent in orthopedic surgeons' offices, as well as assisting in orthopedic surgery. Primary care doctors won't become surgeons, but it's helpful that they learn first hand about the various surgeries that some of their patients may need. Another important aspect of sports medicine fellowships involves being a team doctor for a local high school and/or college, gaining experience in the training room as well as on the field.

Also, since sports medicine is more than just orthopedics, the primary care sports medicine fellowship includes continued training in the doctor's original specialty, be it family medicine, pediatrics, etc. This way, they don't lose touch with their baseline training. Such doctors become very good at musculoskeletal/orthopedic injuries, but are also well trained in more traditional medical problems, such as asthma, hypertension, diabetes, etc. They make excellent overall doctors for active people or athletic teams.

So a family doctor can get additional training by doing a "sports medicine fellowship." But what about the orthopedic surgeon? Do such fellowships exist for them?

A doctor who completes an orthopedic surgery residency may also do a surgical sports medicine fellowship, which lasts anywhere from 12-24 months. Such fellowships allow the doctor to gain more experience in surgical techniques for a variety of sports injuries. However, some orthopedic surgeons elect to do a fellowship in a specific joint, such as a "shoulder fellowship." Obviously, there can be quite a bit of overlap as to who would be the ideal surgeon to treat specific sports injuries. Your primary care sports medicine doctor can often be an excellent source of information regarding surgeon recommendations.

Is there an additional examination in "sports medicine"?

For orthopedic surgeons, there is not. For primary care doctors, there is, and it is called a "Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) in sports medicine." It is a rigorous examination that covers the medical and musculoskeletal aspects of sports medicine.

The two organizations that certify physicians are the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists. Any claim of "board certification" or "certificate of added qualifications" must be accredited by one of these two organizations.

Can a primary care doctor take the Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) examination in sports medicine if they don't do a sports medicine fellowship?

Not anymore. Since 1999, a fellowship is required to even be eligible for the examination.

Can my "regular" family doctor or "regular" orthopedic surgeon treat my sports injury?

Yes, and many of them do. It would be unfair to a family doctor or orthopedic surgeon to say that they cannot treat your sports injury just because they did not do a fellowship. However, the extra training that a sports medicine fellowship provides makes a primary care sports medicine doctor or orthopedic sports medicine surgeon an ideal choice for many active people.

So who should I see first for my injury: a primary care sports medicine doctor or an orthopedic sports medicine doctor?

There are some cases that are so obviously surgical that you would be better off seeing an orthopedic surgeon first, if your insurance allows it. However, most sports injuries and common fractures can be comfortably managed by a primary care sports medicine physician. Even if your injury will require surgery, a primary care sports medicine doctor can often make this determination. As you may imagine, they also know the local orthopedic community very well in case you need a good recommendation for a surgical referral.

Do orthopedic surgeons and primary care sports medicine doctors compete for the same patients, often creating an air of ill will?

No. Most orthopedic surgeons are more than happy to get assistance in managing the many non-surgical patients that would normally be referred to them. Sometimes, patients end up being referred to an orthopedic surgeon simply because the referring doctor was unaware that primary care sports medicine doctors exist.

Some doctors are D.O.'s and some are M.D.'s. Is there a difference?

D.O.'s (Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine) and M.D.'s are considered to be equivalent degrees. D.O.'s, however, place additional emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, and also can perform hands-on manipulation (called osteopathic manipulation). This can be a very effective tool when treating various sports injuries. However, D.O.'s are not limited to manipulation, as they also prescribe drugs, do surgery, and practice a full scope of medicine. Only D.O.'s and M.D.'s are recognized by the American Medical Association as fully licensed physicians in the United States. You may click here to learn more about osteopathic medicine from our parent organization, the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).

OK, so how do I locate a sports medicine doctor?

To locate a primary care sports medicine doctor in your area, you should contact the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine.

American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine (AOASM) 2424 American Lane Madison, WI 53704 Phone: (608) 443-2477 Fax: (608) 443-2474 or (608) 443-2478 Executive Director: Susan Rees email: info@aoasm.org

Any final words of advice?

Remember, anyone who claims to be a sports medicine doctor may or may not have done additional training in sports medicine. This does not necessarily mean they are incapable of treating your condition, because many doctors become proficient on their own. However, if you don't have a good recommendation to go by, you may want to locate a certified sports medicine physician. Contacting one of the above organizations is a good start. When you call a doctor's office, you may also want to ask the following questions:

Sports medicine is the study and practice of medical principles related to the science of sports, particularly in the areas of:

What is a Sports Medicine Specialist? A sports medicine specialist is an individual with specialized education and training who focuses on the medical and therapeutic aspects of sports participation and physical activity.

This title of sports medicine specialist does not necessarily mean the specialist is a physician. There are bachelors, masters, and certificate programs in sports medicine.

What is a Sports Medicine Physician?

Sports medicine physicians have specialized training in the field in medicine that deals with sport or exercise-related injuries. Their primary focus is on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of injuries that occur during sports and other physical activity.

A sports medicine physician receives special training during a fellowship program in sports medicine after finishing a residency program in another specialty, such as primary care or orthopedic surgery. There are currently no widespread residency programs in sports medicine.

Most primary care sports medicine doctors complete a three-year family medicine residency after medical school, and then choose to focus on sports medicine.

An orthopedic surgery residency leads to a career as an orthopedic surgeon, many of who treat athletes.

What is Sports Science? Sports science, also referred to as exercise science, is a focused study and application of the principals of physiology, anatomy, and psychology as they relate to human movement and physical activity.

Exercise science is still quite young, and much of the field is focused on conducting research on the various adaptations to exercise or the lack of exercise, of the human body. This work ranges from the elite athlete to the general population; children to elderly; and the physical components of fitness to the psychological.

Careers in Sports Medicine and Sports Science There are many career and job opportunities in fields related to sports medicine. Typically, employment opportunities involve working with generally healthy or active people in two major areas:

Lifestyle improvement or performance enhancement

Injury prevention or recovery.

The goal of sports medicine professionals is to help individuals achieve optimal health and performance goals. Those pursuing degrees in sport medicine or sports science, often work in clinical, academic or service employment. Professions include trainers, coaches, researchers, nutritionists, sports psychologists, nutritionists and many others.

Sports Medicine Programs Schools are beginning to offer more and more Sports Medicine and Sports Science curriculum.

Only a few years ago, you would be hard-pressed to find much selection if you wanted to study sports medicine in college. The standard education program consisted of physical education or medical school. Now departments with degree programs specific to sports medicine, athletic training, exercise science, health promotion, kinesiology, sports coaching and a variety of other disciplines are popping up at nearly every university. The choice is yours.

Sports Psychology Programs Sports psychology is a growing profession and many athletes seek the services of psychologists, trainers and coaches who can help them with the mental aspects of sports training. Elite athletes, professionals and Olympians all have tremendous physical skills and research is finding that at these levels mental training skills (focus, relaxation, goal-setting and reducing anxiety) are critical in separating first from second place.

Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) Programs An athletic trainer is a highly skilled professional who has education and training in athletic health care. To become certified ATC one must pass an examination that covers a variety of topics within the six domains of athletic training including:

Prevention of athletic injuries

Recognition, evaluation and immediate care of athletic injuries

Rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries

Health care administration

Professional development and responsibility

Once athletic trainers pass the certification examination they can use the designation ATC.

Our Sports Medicine Joint Repair franchise offers surgeons a broad array of instruments, technologies and implants necessary to perform minimally invasive surgery of the joints, including the repair of soft tissue injuries and degenerative conditions of the knee, hip and shoulder:

Our franchise operates in a large, growing market where unmet clinical needs lend room for procedural and technological innovation. Smith & Nephew is well positioned both to innovate and to reach customers globally.

Recently, our position within the global Sports Medicine joint repair market was strengthened significantly with the acquisition of ArthroCare Corporation. The transaction added technology and highly complementary products to our existing portfolio, including new shoulder anchor innovation.

Key products in this franchise include the FAST-FIX family of meniscal repair systems, the ENDOBUTTON family for knee ligament reconstruction, HEALICOIL PK, FOOTPRINT PK and TWINFIX Suture anchors for repairs of the hip and rotator cuff.

In 2015, Smith & Nephew launched its Q-FIX All-suture anchor for procedures like rotator cuff repair in the shoulder and labral repair in the shoulder and hip, all procedures in which anatomic space is very limited. The new anchor delivers performance characteristics that meet or exceed those of much larger, hard anchors.

Key products in resection are the wide range of DYONICS shaver blades, ACUFEX handheld instruments, and a range of radiofrequency (RF) probes. The DYONICS PLATINUM Series Shaver Blades, launched in 2011, are single-use blades that provide superior resection, debris evacuation and sharpness.

Other recent innovations include the BIORAPTORand OSTEORAPTOR CURVED Guide Systems for Shoulderthat optimise anchor placement, helping surgeons to overcome the challenges associated with instability repair. The systems provide increased access to the repair site in the glenohumeral joint, improve the trajectory of drilling and lead to optimised anchor placement in glenoid bone which helps surgeons operate with confidence.
