In med school, students do both classroom and clinical

work and may have the chance to take some sports medicine

courses. Once they pass the exam to become medical doctors,

they complete a residency program that focuses on either

primary care or surgery. Within primary care, family medicine

is a popular residency choice for future sports medicine doctors.

There is currently no residency in sports medicine.
