Sports Medicine Doctor

Duties and Responsibilities: A sports doctor can enjoy the coveted 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, traveling with the players and enjoying 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.

Salary: $279,000 - $350,000

Education: Many students who are interested in going on to medical school complete a bachelor’s degree with a pre-med concentration that gives them a solid foundation in biology, chemistry and physics. Getting into medical school can be competitive, so students must complete the courses and have excellent grades to be a good applicant. Students will also be required to pass the medical college Admission test (MCAT) in order to get into medical school. Those interested in sports medicine are usually sports lovers themselves, often involved in some kind of team or individual sports activity.
