List of sports medicine organizations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of sports medicine organizations includes professional associations (but not, e.g., hospitals, clinics, or universities) for healthcare workers who are professionally involved in sports medicine. There is a separate list for organizations primarily catering to coaches, personal trainers, and fitness centers. Some of these organizations offer professional credentialing or training to members, or may sponsor a medical journal or research.
