Sports Physician

Sports Physician:

The sports physician is at the centre of a sports medical team, with tremendous responsibilities for the safety and health of athletes. This person will likely be an orthopaedist, a specialist in bones, joints and muscles. A sports physician does exams to determine if an athlete is ready to compete, whether to begin a fitness program, join a team or return to play following an injury. Another important part of the job is to advise coaches and trainers on health-related decisions.
