Hey, i was interested in entering post graduate Sports medicine at UNSW. On their website it said you needed to have an undergraduate degree in medicine or an equivalent course. Is Chiropractic Science an equivalent course? You deal with anatomy and sports injuries in chiro as well as have clinical experience, so their is some relationship there. Does anyone know? I've contacted the uni but haven't heard back thanks

Are you referring to the following courses?
9055 Master of Sports Medicine
5503 Graduate Diploma in Sports Medicine
7378 Graduate Certificate in Sports Medicine
These are postgraduate coursework programs about 1 year in length. You MUST have a MBBS to do it because they are for med graduates who wish to know a bit more about sports medicine. More like an "add-on" thing, rather than another new degree. And I think they are delivered via Distance Mode.
More info from the website:
The programs aim to provide the latest knowledge and skills in all areas of sports medicine to medical practitioners/physicians and to provide them with continuing education in the latest developments from around the world. Delivery is by distance mode. The programs are for Medical Practitioners and Physicians.

Yes they are what i'm referring to. Doesn't look to promising, but I've known/seen chiropractors with a master of sports med to their credentials. I'm really interested in doing it but don't know how to get into a course like this or similar, any help would be great

You cannot get into those courses without a Med degree.

so yeah.. medicine courses are those listed by the WHO.. as training you to be a medical practitioner.. so BMed, MBChB or BMBS too

this is Masters of sports medicine by research..
only cos the practical ones are for giving general practitioners clinical knowledge and skills in sports medicine.

Thanks for the help Pointdexter, so entry into master of sports med (research) is accessible to those that have completed a degree or just med sci grad's?
Will having completed this course allow you to practice sports med say at a clinic treating these injuries?
