Undergraduate perspective on Sports & Exercise Medicine<\/span> –<\/span><\/em>\u00a0a BJSM blog series<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By <\/b>Stuart O\u2019Flanagan<\/b> <\/b>(<\/b>@SROFlanagan<\/b><\/a>)<\/b><\/p>\n

Considerable momentum was gathered this past year from students in the UK, championing the cause of Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM).\u00a0 As is often the case with close neighbours, such great noises have not gone unnoticed by your Irish colleagues! With the world\u2019s greatest sporting event so close to our own door step, the positive effects of London 2012 have been palpable nationwide, not least amongst a generation of medical students who bore witness to a new potential career path (with many thanks to the BJSM Blog Series<\/a>!).<\/p>\n

Current State of Play<\/b><\/p>\n

So how to pursue a career in Sports and Exercise Medicine in Ireland? The Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine Ireland<\/a>, via the Irish Medical Council, offer access to the Specialist Register of Sport and Exercise Medicine to doctors who satisfy a number of requirements outlined under criteria here<\/a>. There are a number of routes to obtaining this certificate of specialisation but unlike the UK, a dedicated SEM postgraduate training programme is not yet in place. The FSEM are actively working to address this and the most recent public update on their plans was published online in the BJSM here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many of the doctors currently practicing SEM have spent time abroad to pursue such training, with others having undertaken one of the recognised SEM MSc courses available in Ireland Although this speciality is very much in its infancy in Ireland, advances are being made at a rapid pace.<\/p>\n

Immediate potential<\/b><\/p>\n

Ireland boasts several world-class sporting facilities, which lend themselves to future opportunities in SEM, one such example being the University of Limerick<\/a> (UL). UL is home to the country\u2019s first Olympic standard swimming pool, the national strength and conditioning centre as well as acting as a hub to several national, Olympic and Paralympics standard athletes who come to train from home and abroad. The campus is also home to professional athletes such as Munster Rugby and occasional training camps for the Irish national rugby team. With faculties in Medicine, Physiotherapy, Physical Education and a Sports Science department that is world renowned for its research, UL provides an outstanding environment for the development of a Sports and Exercise Medicine hub. This example is not unique in Ireland however. Several other Universities with similar quality environments are in operation such as the Institute for Sport and Health<\/a> at University College Dublin and the High Performance Unit<\/a> in Dublin City University, amongst others.<\/p>\n

So how can this help me as a medical student in Ireland? Other student contributors and SEM practitioners have disseminated some very solid advice via these blog series<\/a> and podcasts<\/a>, and the message here is no different. Seeking volunteer work in aforementioned facilities (you are Basic Life Support trained!), applying for mini-electives with SEM practitioners, choosing SEM related topics for your special study modules (performing audits or collecting data) are all realistic options. Perhaps one of the most underrated approaches (yet most accessible while at university) is to engage in multidisciplinary collaboration with students of other faculties (your future sports science and physiotherapy colleagues!). Providing evidence of this in the form of projects, such as initiatives to promote physical activity in the local community, would lay a great stepping-stone in the pursuit of future career opportunities in SEM.<\/p>\n

The future is bright!<\/b><\/p>\n

Though still early days here in Ireland, the advent of London 2012 and the work of our colleagues at the FSEM UK and BASEM are quickly charting new territory, further stimulating growth on this side of the Irish Sea. The FSEM Ireland will be establishing affiliation with a dedicated SEM student body in 2013, which it is hoped, will be linked via a network of student groups across the 6 medical schools in Ireland. Students that are interested in participating are invited to contact us at the address below. With a training scheme on the horizon, now is time to get active in SEM in as many ways you can. A good start would be to attend the FSEM Annual Scientific Conference 2013<\/a> in Dublin and maybe even to submit your research, or a poster to present for the poster competition! A new movement in SEM is gathering pace here in Ireland and it is time for the students to have their rightful presence on the map!<\/p>\n
