Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Program in Japan-Pilot Curriculum Project-

Abstract

Sports medicine requires a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach, making it highly compatible with primary care. Internationally, there are many primary care physicians in the field of sports medicine; however, there are few in Japan. Although the demand for learning about sports medicine is high, there are few facilities where primary care physicians can undergo training. This report discusses the initiatives and prospects of the Kameda Family Clinic Tateyama Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Program, which was established in 2009 and revised and implemented in 2022.
