IM getting into a Sports medicine fellowship?

[tobias8048]

I know traditionally its usually FM that goes this route, but can IM do it?
Do some programs only accept family medicine? I ask because on some of their websites they state something like "must have completed family medicine residency" under the prereqs.

How should an IM resident prepare to get competitive for sport medicine fellowship?
