What USEMS can do for medical undergraduates interested in Sport and Exercise Medicine
- Centralise all relevant and important SEM information, allowing students the opportunity to become active within the field without having to wait until their postgraduate studies.
- We know there’s a lack of SEM education in undergraduate medical curriculum, so we’ll look to provide resources over a variety of mediums and formats.
- Detail careers and support the FSEM (UK) training pathway and curriculum.
- Use our contact base to offer shadowing experience in SEM.
- Organise annual one day courses.
- Involve students with SEM blogging, research, audits, athlete screening programmes and public health initiatives.
- Help develop Student Selected Components and assist students in planning electives in SEM.
- Maintain strong links with the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine UK, the British Association of Sport & Exercise Medicine (BASEM) and the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM)
- Provide a platform for students across the UK to network with each other and SEM professionals.
- Liaise with companies and conference organisers to gain larger discount admission for students at SEM events.
