The IOC has launched an online course providing a Diploma in Sports Medicine.

 

The qualification scheme aims at expanding education and knowledge with respect to athletes’ health protection. The two-year postgraduate course primarily addresses requirements team physicians from the National Olympic Committees and International Federations have to fulfil. Emphasis is put on the health and performance aspects of participation in elite sport, while taking the significance of physical activity, nutrition and other factors in promoting good health into account.

 

The course is conducted by the IOC’s Medical Commission under academic oversight of an International Academic Advisory Board.
