medicine physicians diagnose and treat athletes and other active people
suffering from a sports related injury or illness. They work with other medical

nutritionists, and coaches to help patients in their recovery. They also come
up with ways of preventing injury and promoting health for individuals actively
involved in sports and exercise.

$202,790
Education:
You must
learn at least a bachelor’s degree and then attend an accredited medical school
to earn a Doctor of Medicine degree or Doctor of Osteopathy. These programs may
take four years to complete. After earning your degree you must perform a residency
lasting 2-7 years in a specialty and then after the residency you may complete
a sports medicine fellowship which take 1 -2 years to complete.
I don't think I would like to work in the sports medicine field because it really doesn't catch my attention.
