Lessons in sports medicine: advice from experience.
When addressing the politics of sports medicine, it is often helpful to obtain the advice of people who work in the trenches and who have experiences that can be of benefit to clinicians in the field or who are contemplating going into the field. The goal of this project was to obtain advice from physicians who have dealt with these political issues. It is hoped that their insights will prove helpful for physicians and others who are involved in the care of athletes, regardless of the athlete's level of the play.
