Sports Medicine
An injury-and-performance support oriented studies path — clinical practice rights depend on the exact credential pathway.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Sports Medicine branding confuses students about what they can legally do. Clarify your program outcomes versus MBBS/physio. Support roles, education, and further study are common. Show first-aid/EAP seriousness and placement notes. Don't invent clinical authority you lack. Campus and academy screens still reward ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — session plan, testing log, event run-sheet, or internship note — you can defend in depth.
