Sports Medicine [Pre-Med] (SPMD)

The Sports Medicine program provides valuable training for future physicians in such areas of
preventive medicine as:

• Nutrition
• Exercise
• Fitness
• Weight loss and control
• Substance abuse control

This information is not offered in medical schools, and a firm foundation can be achieved through this prevention-oriented program. Students are assigned a departmental academic adviser in addition to a health professions adviser who will guide their progress toward medical school. Students gain competencies in exercise stress testing, maximum oxygen uptake testing, body composition determination, computerized diet analysis and exercise.
