The change became effective on July 1, 2022. The AOA advocated for this change, along with the American Academy of Osteopathy and the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine. Sports medicine fellowship directors can now consider prospective fellows who have completed a residency program in emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine, pediatrics, or physical medicine and rehabilitation. Sports medicine fellowships provides advanced education to allow fellows to acquire competence in preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries related to participating in sports and/or exercise, as well as recognizing the need for a unique skill set in providing care for athletic patients. Applicants can apply to fellowships online via ERAS. The AOA offers subspecialty board certification in sports medicine. Interested applicants can find ACGME-accredited sports medicine programs on the ACGME website.
