A degree in sports science or sports medicine will involve intense and advanced studies of biology, biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, and other fields of science and math. Strong foundational skills in the sciences will help you thrive in a sports science or sports medicine college degree program.
Medical students must also complete a clinical residency, which gives hands-on practice in a variety of clinical settings under the supervision of doctors and healthcare professionals. 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.
