Sports Medicine Club

The purpose of the Sports Medicine Club is to provide future health care professionals with exposure, experience, and education in sports medicine and musculoskeletal problems. The aim is to equip future primary care physicians, surgeons, physical therapists, and physician assistants with the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat musculoskeletal problems. Student will be encouraged to attend workshops and discussions led by sports medicine professionals, participate in physicians’ office hours, and observe operating room procedures in order to gain insight into this rapidly expanding field.

Membership and participation in the Sports Medicine Club is open to all Downstate students.

A secondary purpose is to provide community service. This will include conducting physicals for local high school and college athletic teams, as well as medical coverage of athletic events.

Four executive officers are to be elected every November, with their one-year terms beginning in January. The four offices are President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Students from either COM or CHRP are eligible to run for any office. Nominations will be accepted during the September and October meetings, and may be made by any club member.
