What college is best if I want to persure a career in sports medicine?

We Answered:

What type of a career in sports medicine?
Orthopedic surgeon - four years undergraduate, four years medical school, five years residency plus fellowship
Primary care sports medicine - four years undergraduate, four years medical school, three years residency plus fellowship
Physical therapist - college plus three years to earn a doctorate in physical therapy
Athletic trainer - four or more years
Nurse - four years for a BSN

I would suggest just doing your best in high school so that you will have a wide range of colleges to choose from. A college that has a kinesiology department might be appropriate.

Janet Said:

Which are the best universities in US for careers such as sport medicine doctor?

We Answered:

Med school is a professional school, not a graduate school. You can start at any 4-year college or university, major in anything, and take the premed courses to prepare for med school. Since most premed students won't get into med school, pick a major you can use to find a job if you don't.
