Sports Medicine Doctor
Job
Overview: A sports doctor can enjoy the converted stability and satisfaction of
a career treating patients in a hospital or clinic, And at the same time, this
doctor could also work for professional or college sports teams, travelling
with the players and enjoying the games from the sidelines! Not many careers
boast such a varied professional landscape, but this variety is just one of the
many appeals of becoming a sports doctor. Sports doctors specialize in
treating, diagnosing and prevention of injuries from athletic sports. They
focus on the care of joint, bone and muscle health.
Education
Requirements: Most sports doctors complete a medicine degree or a doctor of
osteopathic medicine. Four years of academic biology, biochemistry, anatomy,
pathology and psychology, physiology, medical ethics and pharmacology is
needed.
Salary:
$279,000 - $350,000.
Reflection:
Although the job of a sports medicine doctor does seem rewarding I wouldn’t really
be interested seeing how I have no interest in sports whatsoever.
