Lifestyle and Practice Options - Sports Medicine Specialty Training Program

The career of a Sports and Exercise physician may include a variety of different roles:

• Clinician
• Team Doctor
• Travel Medicine
• Event Coverage
• Administrator
• Academic
• Researcher
• Lecturer and Health Advocate
• Conference Attendance and Presentation
• Media Involvement

Private consulting is the main source of work for the majority of SEM physicians with some scope for work in sporting organisations, private or semi-private institutions, the defence forces and workers compensation organisations. The focus of the individual SEM physician’s work will dictate their lifestyle, with after hours and weekend work being the norm rather than the exception when working with sports teams and event coverage in particular.
