Course Summary

This programme is the longest-established Sports and Exercise Medicine MSc in the country. It will help you develop skills working within the multidisciplinary team and progress your medical skills and knowledge. You will build confidence through your academic studies, and reinforce your learning through active practice with patients.

You will be taught by experts and clinician-scientists on our staff who regularly work with elite athletes. Sports medicine is a collaborative discipline, and you will gain experience by working closely with medical doctors, physiotherapists, podiatrists and other sports medicine practitioners.

We have an international research profile in Sports and Exercise Medicine. You will be able to work with a wide variety of athletes and dancers, and thus build your research around groups in which you have a particular interest. Many students also go on to publish in peer-reviewed journals – which is a reflection of the quality of our student research output.

The Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine is based within the William Harvey Research Institute at Queen Mary University of London's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry is comprised of two world-renowned teaching hospitals, St Bartholomews and The Royal London, which make an outstanding contribution to modern medicine.

The integration of different imaging modalities, and their rationale for been used, is explored. Topics will include the selection of imaging modalities by body site and pathology to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of injury. At the core of the module will be the acquisition of practical skills in ultrasound scanning with a syllabus based on recommendations by the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine. This module has an extensive clinical component.
