Hey guys-
I have a quick question...I have always had a love for sports and thought that that it'd be great if i could someday combine my love for sports with my career. Today someone told me that there is a sports medicine fellowship in emergency medicine...is this just a rumor or is it true? That'd be awesome if it was...i'm currently a third year, love the work in the ER, like the shift-work of EM, DETEST rounding, and love seeing patients acutely. That's why i think the ER is the best place for me. I know i won't make as much as most docs but having time off every month is really important to me. Has anyone on this forum had any personal experience with the sports medicine fellowship or know anyone who has. Is this the type of trying i'd be receiving so that i can stand on the sideline of a professional sports team as a doc or is that relegated to the orthopods? Also, what kind of credentials do you need to get into EM, ie grades, boards, connections, etc. Thanks for reading!
