Fellowship in Sports Medicine

A Fellowship in Sports Medicine is a specialized training program for medical doctors after they have completed their residency, usually in fields like orthopedics or family medicine. This program focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports-related injuries and conditions. Physicians learn to work with athletes, including assessing performance, rehabilitation, and promoting overall physical health. The fellowship combines hands-on clinical experience, educational courses, and often research, preparing doctors to help individuals, from professional athletes to weekend warriors, safely engage in sports and recover from injuries effectively.
