Abstract
Sports medicine is becoming a larger part of a family physicians' prac tice. We surveyed all family medicine teaching programs in Canada to d etermine how many off er sports medicine experiences and who teaches t hem. The study found that few residents have clinical training in spor ts medicine, though most have attended seminars. Primary care physicia ns, orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and rheumatologists teach s ports medicine.
