Sports medicine electives. Are they available in Canadian family medicine programs?
Sports medicine is becoming a larger part of a family physicians' practice. We surveyed all family medicine teaching programs in Canada to determine how many offer sports medicine experiences and who teaches them. The study found that few residents have clinical training in sports medicine, though most have attended seminars. Primary care physicians, orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and rheumatologists teach sports medicine.
