Hi All,
I'm a rising MS4 applying into general surgery. Down the line, one of my goals is to volunteer as a high school football team physician during the season. Would it be possible for a general surgeon to do that? Does general surgery training give one enough knowledge to be able to do a bit of sports medicine on the side? I wouldn't mind doing a Sports Medicine Fellowship, but from what I've read online, they don't seem to be open to General Surgeons. Alternatively, are there courses or electives I'd be able to take (either during residency or after) to make me qualified to do some work in this area?
Thanks!
