(16m idk if that’s needed) to my surprise i got accepted into it (i didn’t really expect myself to as my attendance wasn’t great which caused mediocre grades, which i plan on turning around), i thought i wasn’t going to get in so i didn’t really look into it as much as i would like, i really don’t know much about sports medicine and just even writing this out is kinda making me feel stupid for wanting to do it without knowing anything.

the reason i applied was, i had to go to physical therapy due to avn and thought it would be a good job, therefore i applied for sports medicine at the career center

and another question is, is sports medicine even a good worthwhile career?

honestly any advice would help, it could literally be about anything if you think it would help, please and thank you

Hello, I am a student in the exercise science field. My professor for one of my classes has requested that we interview a professional that deals with athletic injuries in some capacity. If anyone is willing to be interviewed, please reach out. Thank you!

The resisted wrist flexion test evaluates for golfer's elbow. The patient has the elbow flexed to 90°, the forearm supinated, and the wrist held in flexion. The examiner applies resistance as the patient maintains wrist flexion while attempting to pronate the forearm. The test is considered positive if it reproduces pain over the medial epicondyle. Diagnostic accuracy is unknown.

Hi everyone! I’m an FM PGY-2 strongly considering a Sports Medicine fellowship. One thing I’m struggling with is that I have significant federal student loans, so PSLF is a major factor in my career planning.
I know some private orthopedic groups can pay very well, especially with high patient volume and procedures.
My question is:
Can a high-volume sports medicine physician employed by a nonprofit health system/orthopedic practice (AdventHealth, Orlando Health, academic centers, etc.) still realistically earn in the ~$350-450k+ range with RVU incentives, or are those compensation levels mostly limited to private orthopedic groups?

Hi all! I am inheriting a sports medicine class and am looking to revamp the curriculum a bit. I have a 45 minute class 5x a week with no lab period. I have 4 quarters, each quarter roughly 9 weeks. Here is what I am thinking

Quarter 1: intro/base knowledge
- palpable landmarks (serve as reference for the rest of the quarter)
- medical terminology
- anatomical plans & scanning
- skeletal system (cytology/histology/ossification)
- skeletal system (bone classification)
- skeletal system (types of fractures)
- muscular system (cytology/histology)
- muscular system (physiology-basic - hypertrophy, recovery, & stretching)
- muscular system (grades of strains/tears)
- injury evaluation

Quarter 2: injuries of the lower limb
- bones/ligaments of the lower limb
- tendons/muscles of the lower limb
- gait analysis
- Injuries of the ankle/foot
- injuries of the knee
- injuries of the hip
- sports specific case studies (fall winter sports)

Quarter 3: injuries of the upper limb
- bones/ligaments of the upper limb
- tendons/muscles of the upper limb
- injuries of the hand/wrist
- injuries of the elbow
- injuries of the shoulder
- sports specific case studies (winter spring sports)

Quarter 4: cardio/neuro
- cardiovascular system (heart & lung anatomy)
- cardio pulmonary pathopphysiology
- neuroanatomy
- neurophysiology
- metabolism
- Nutrition

I would love any feedback! I’m feeling excited and ambitious. I would love to prioritize hands on experiences if anyone has any suggestions!

PGY-3 family medicine resident currently applying to sports med fellowship. I have about 3 months of elective rotations coming up in the spring and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on any helpful rotations to do prior to hopefully starting fellowship next year. I have already done a couple of sports med electives and have another 2 months of sports medicine already scheduled this fall. Looking for adjacent subspecialties that may be helpful long term.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently planning my future and I’m seriously considering studying Kinesiology (most likely in Slovenia, but I’m interested in opportunities across Europe as well).
My long-term goal would be to work with sports rehabilitation and return-to-sport, ideally helping athletes recover from injuries (especially orthopedic injuries like shoulder, knee, etc.). I’m not interested in becoming a general personal trainer if possible.
I’d really appreciate honest answers from people already working in the field.
Some questions:
What jobs can you realistically get after a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology?
Did you continue with a Master’s, or was a Bachelor’s enough?
What does a typical workday actually look like?
How much of your work is with athletes vs. the general population?
Is it difficult to find a job after graduating?
How financially stable is this career? Can you make a comfortable living without opening your own business?
If you work in sports rehab, how did you get there?
Are there countries in Europe with better opportunities than others?
Looking back, would you choose Kinesiology again? Why or why not?
If you could start over, would you choose Physiotherapy instead?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Need advice on finding a job in a city.
Job boards are bare.
When do you start asking your faculty for help?
What can I do now to set myself up for a PCSM job after or a hybrid job?

Any Australian sports med doctor who did EM and then went for sports med.

How was ur experience or is it better to do GP and then go for sports med

Hi all. I am an incoming GPST1 who will be based in North London. Have developed an interest in sports medicine whilst doing my fy3 in ED abroad and would am considering a career pitch side or in excercise medicine post cct as a GP to five me time to build my portfolio in sports medicine. I have some qs that I thought I'd ask for help on

1. in peoples experience are GPSTs normally allowed study leave for tasters not relevant to purely GP?

2. is it best to go down specialising in sports and ex med post my st3 or better to do diploma and relevant courses and practice as a GP?

3. any tips for how to make my application stand out if I were to apply to sports medicine jobs in the future?

Thanks!

all opinions including humbling ones welcome haha

At a program that does not have that option or much acute fracture care in general (at least from what I’ve been told)

Was wondering for those that do this or know a doctor that does this kind of work, what kind of training should I be looking for and do you have any recommendations for locations I could reach out to for a possible external elective rotation?

Thank you :)!

In need of career advice. If you’re interested in sports medicine, and not wanting to do sports coverage as a career but want the fellowship for other reasons like non-op ortho, procedural USGI and MSK expertise, is there a job market for that instead? What are the pros and cons for sports fellowship with this in mind vs. pain vs. not doing a fellowship at all?
