There are many career and job opportunities in fields related to sports medicine. Typically, employment opportunities involve working with generally healthy or active people in two major areas:
- Lifestyle improvement or performance enhancement and
- Injury prevention or recovery.
Choosing a career in a health promotion or sports related field is possibly the easiest career decision you might make. But once you have that coveted degree, then what? That's when the real work begins. The career choices available are endless and determining what path to take can be excruciating. One of the best pieces of advice I can give the sports medicine student is to take advantage of any and all internship possibilities available.
The internship is ultimately the best way to immerse yourself in a chosen field without any long-term commitment. What better way to discover if that is really the way you want to spend 40 hours a week? Check the following links for schools and career information:
