Sports Medicine
Doctor
Duties and Responsibilities:
Sports
medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness, treatments,
and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise. Although most sports
teams have employed Team physicians for many years, it is only since the late
20th century that Sport and Exercise Medicine has emerged as a
distinct entity in health care.
Average Salary: $279,000-$350,000
Educational Requirements:
Many
students who are interested in going to medical school complete a bachelor’s
degree with a pre-med concentration that gives them a solid foundation in
biology, chemistry, and physics. Getting into medical school can be
competitive, so students must complete the courses and have excellent grades to
be a good applicant. Students will also be required to pass the Medical College
Admission Test (MCAT) in order to get into medical school. Those interested in
sports medicine are usually sports lovers themselves, often involved in some
kind of team or individual sports activity.
