- Be comfortable in a high-stress environment
It’s also important to note that those who are interested in sports medicine will have a patient-centered career. Sports medicine especially requires prospective doctors to be comfortable working with patients of all ages. Many — more than 30 million — athletes are involved in youth or adolescent sports. If you are not prepared to work closely with young people to aid their injuries, sports medicine may not be the specialty for you.
