Undergraduate perspective on Sport & Exercise Medicine<\/span> \u2013 a BJSM blog series<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

By James Murphy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This blog follows up my previous post where I\u00a0broadly discussed intercalation FAQs (READ IT HERE<\/a>). Here,\u00a0I intend to give medical students interested in intercalating in SEM an overview of their different options. I provide, to the best of my ability, a comprehensive list and basic description of the SEM and closely related courses offered in the UK. The information is from course web pages and from my own contact with course directors. My own observations on the courses are shown in bold italics.<\/p>\n

Sports and Exercise Medicine courses<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sports and Exercise Medicine MSc, Nottingham University<\/h4>\n

All students on the MSc course complete compulsory modules as well as a research project.<\/p>\n

The compulsory modules include anatomy and the assessment of sports injury. The \u2018Pitch side Care of the Injured Athlete\u2019 compulsory module is a great opportunity for students to get hands on experience in pitch side care. As part of this module students study and attend an \u201cadvanced emergency care course<\/em>\u201d(1) and also provide first aid cover at some University sports pitches. The other compulsory modules are: \u2018Physical Activity in Health and Disease\u2019 and \u2018Research Methods\u2019. The optional modules are listed on the course page.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.nottingham.ac.uk\/pgstudy\/courses\/medicine\/medical-sciences\/sports-and-exercise-medicine-msc.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite the stated entry requirements, the course directors are open to applications from intercalating students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

BSc Sports and Exercise Medicine, Queen Mary, University of London<\/h4>\n

On this course students complete 120 credits, organised in to six modules. The modules are: \u2018Research Methods\u2019, \u2018Injuries and medical problems in sport\u2019, \u2018Literature reviewing\u2019, \u2018Research project\u2019, \u2018Biomechanics and rehabilitation\u2019 and \u2018Exercise as a Health tool\u2019. The breakdown of the modules is on the below website.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.smd.qmul.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/courses\/intercalated\/sem\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The taught research methods and literature reviewing modules prepare students to carry out research and critically appraise papers. Relating research skills to sports and exercise medicine literature allows students to appreciate the importance and application of the skills. As part of the degree students undertake a systematic review and a full research project, many students work towards, and succeed in having their work published.<\/p>\n

BSc (Med Sci) Clinical Medicine, Glasgow University<\/h4>\n

Students can apply to undertake the Sport and Exercise Medicine subject and research project within this Clinical Medicine Degree. The degree is split into four different areas:\u00a0 the \u2018Core Course\u2019 (which aims to provide students with \u201ctransferable research skills<\/em>\u201d(3)), the \u2018Specialist subject\u2019, \u2018Medical Statistics\u2019, and a \u2018Research project\u2019. For their specialist subject students can apply to take the SEM course. The SEM course aims to cover \u201cexercise in health promotion, disease prevention and treatment of disease states<\/em>\u201d.(3)<\/p>\n

Students undertake three modules: \u2019Clinical Sports Injuries\u2019, \u2018Sports Medicine in Practice\u2019 and \u2018Exercise in Clinical Populations\u2019.<\/p>\n

University of Glasgow B.Sc. (Med. Sci.) Clinical Medicine Sport and Exercise Medicine – Course information<\/p>\n

Sports and Exercise Science courses<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sports and Exercise Science (intercalated), Loughborough University<\/h4>\n

Students taking the Intercalated degree study alongside the\u00a0final year\u00a0Sport and Exercise Science BSc students.\u00a0Intercalated students take 120 credits worth of modules from a great variety of options (the list can be found on the website below). Alongside their modules students complete a research project and have the opportunity to observe sports medicine practitioners in NHS clinics in Leicester.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/departments\/ssehs\/undergraduate\/courses\/ses-intercalated\/<\/a><\/p>\n

In my opinion the list of modules offered on the Loughborough course is the most varied amongst all the SEM or SEM-related courses in the UK. With no compulsory modules this course provides students complete control over what modules make up their degree.<\/em><\/p>\n

BSc in Medical Sciences (Sports Health and Exercise Science), University of Hull.<\/h4>\n

This degree offers students the \u201copportunity to engage with the theories and methods related to the bio-scientific study of sport and exercise, including sports injury<\/em>.\u201d(7) Students choose 120 credits, 40 of which are the dissertation module. Students choose at least two of \u2018Human Locomotive Systems\u2019, \u2018Ageing, Obesity and Health\u2019, \u2018Fitness and Injury Prevention\u2019. Furthermore students choose another two from \u2018Environmental Physiology\u2019, \u2018Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention\u2019, \u2018Psychology in Sport Rehabilitation\u2019, \u2018Sport and Exercise Nutrition\u2019, \u2018Exercise Physiology\u2019.<\/p>\n

The general areas students can undertake their research project in are: psychology, exercise physiology, biomechanics and sport rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

University of Hull, Sports Health and Exercise Science 2016 programme description<\/p>\n

Sport and Exercise Science (intercalated) BSc (Hons), Cardiff Metropolitan University<\/h4>\n

Here intercalating students study \u2018Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise\u2019 and \u201can independent project in one or more of Biomechanics, Physiology or Psychology<\/em>\u201d(8) and then choose three optional modules.<\/p>\n

The optional Modules are: \u2018Exercise Physiology for Sport Performance\u2019, \u2018Exercise Physiology for Health\u2019, \u2018Sport Psychology\u2019, \u2018Exercise Psychology\u2019.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.cardiffmet.ac.uk\/schoolofsport\/courses\/Pages\/Sport-and-Exercise-Science-(Intercalated)-BSc-(Hons).aspx<\/a><\/p>\n

BSc in Sport and Exercise Science, Brighton and Sussex Medical School<\/h4>\n

Intercalating students join the final year of the BSc Sport and Exercise Science course at the University of Brighton. However, students are also given the chance to attend second year lectures and laboratory sessions if they wish. On the course students develop research method skills and complete a dissertation. Final and second year modules can be found in the \u201cCourse in detail<\/em>\u201d(9) section on the below webpage.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.brighton.ac.uk\/courses\/study\/sport-and-exercise-science-bsc-hons.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n

Students hoping to gain hands on experience are able to complete a placement at a sports medicine practice on campus (numbers permitting).<\/p>\n

BMedSci Sports Science Medicine, University of Edinburgh<\/h4>\n

This course combines SEM with the sports performance and exercise sciences (biomechanics, physiology, psychology and skill acquisition). Students can gain an \u201cunderstanding of sports injuries and the health, performance and rehabilitation role that exercise can play in active sports people, specific patient groups and the wider population<\/em>\u201d.(11) The connection with the university\u2019s SEM centre allows students to shadow members of the multidisciplinary SEM clinics. Students also acquire transferable skills such as literature appraisal, and how to plan and execute a research project.<\/p>\n

B.Sc. Sport Science in Relation to Medicine, University of Leeds<\/h4>\n

This flyer explained that on the course students have the chance to develop \u201cresearch, analytical and critical evaluation skills<\/em>,\u201d and learn about \u201cthe major sport science disciplines – biomechanics, exercise physiology, psychology and motor control<\/em>.\u201d(12) The course also provides students the chance to study \u201cthe links between exercise and health from a scientific perspective<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

As part of the course students undertake a research project and compulsory modules in \u2018Interdisciplinary issues in Sport and Exercise Sciences\u2019, \u2018Advanced Exercise Physiology\u2019 and \u2018Sports Medicine, Health and Nutrition\u2019. Students also complete 40 credits of optional modules.<\/p>\n
