Fellowship in Sports Medicine
Alan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre John Owen Pavilion, 3055 Wesbrook Mall Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z3, Canada email: jtaunton@interchange.ubc.ca
The fellowship, first offered in 1982, is multifaceted and includes clinical exposure, course work, research, teaching, community work, and medical education. The clinical time is split between primary care sports medicine, orthopaedics, and physiotherapy, with the emphasis on primary care. The fellow, once familiar with the specific sports oriented history and physical, assesses and reviews the cases with one of the primary care doctors and is available at follow up. Training in research is an important part of the programme, and the fellow is required to complete, or have completed, a programme of study leading to a Master of Science degree. The fellow is also expected to organise for publication a clinical or basic science research paper. This paper is often generated from the thesis required for the masters degree.
Sports medicine courses are offered through the School of Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia on a credit
