Sports Medicine Doctor
Duties & Responsibilities:

Sports doctors are medical professionals whose specialty is the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of injuries from athletic activities. These doctors generally focus on joint, bone and muscle health, although they also offer more generalized medical care as well to the people with whom they work. Sports medicine prepares these doctors for work either in a traditional hospital or clinic setting, or in sporting events at both the professional and college levels. No matter where they choose to work, sports doctors enjoy the deep gratification of helping active people recover from sports-related injuries and return to the lifestyles they love.

Salary:

$279,000- $350,000

Education:

Many students who are interested in going on 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.
