The Division of Sports Medicine offers a Fellowship in Clinical Sports Medicine, Fellowship in Clinical Research in Sports Medicine, plus post graduate training in Orthopedic Surgery and Physiotherapy. In addition, one to six month traineeships for family physicians are also offered. The Primary Care Fellowship program recently has been funded by the University, with a number of candidates applying for the one position available each year.

Clinical Exposure: In the first year the time is split between primary care sports medicine, orthopaedics and physiotherapy, with the emphasis on the first area. Here, after an initial period of familiarization with the specific sports oriented history and physical, the Fellow sees, assesses and reviews the cases with one of the primary care physicians. Ample time is available for discussion. The year's program allows for follow-up evaluation of the patients, clearly an important aspect of medical practice. 2. Master's Degree in Sport Science: The Fellow is required to complete, or have completed, a program of study leading to a Master of Science Degree. This will provide the Fellow with training in research. 3. Sports Medicine Courses: These are given through the School of Human Kinetics at UBC on a credit basis. They cover all musculoskeletal and organ systems and how these are affected by sports injury. 4. Research: The Fellow is expected to organize for publication a clinical or basic science research paper of choice. This is often based on the thesis topic required for the Master's degree. With the plethora of clinical resources and ready access of laboratory studies, there is an ample choice of research topics. 5. Educational: The Fellow, as a member of the Clinic, is expected to partake in teaching both within and outside of the Clinic. There are always one or two Family Practice residents associated with the Clinic, present to gain an understanding of sports medicine. The Clinic also receives frequent requests from the community, either general or medical, for sports medicine lectures on a myriad of subjects and the Fellow is encouraged to participate in these. 6. Community Service: There are often requests for interested medical personnel to be available at various sports events, such as UBC Varsity teams, marathons, fun runs or the like. 7. Conferences: A number of sports medicine conferences are put on by the clinic each year in which the Fellow participates. In addition, there are a large number both across Canada and in the United States which may be beneficial for the Fellow to attend. The format of the year is very flexible and amenable to alteration as per individual aims and interests. Generally speaking, the Fellow spends about two and one half days at the clinic, and the rest of the week in course work, research, providing medical assistance to a team/sport, etc. There is enough material for study to make the Fellowship a full-time program and we do encourage the completion of the Fellowship on a full-time basis. There is a potential source of funding through the Department of Family Practice. Please refer to www.familypractice.ubc.ca, B: Research, R3 Clinical Investigator Program for more information. It is the aim of the Fellowship to develop the clinical, educational, and research capabilities of the sports medicine physician in order to maximize their contribution to the community, both general and medical. The Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine (CASM) has established a certification examination and it is required that the Fellow complete this following the training period.
