This list of sports medicine organizations includes professional associations (but not, e.g., hospitals, clinics, or universities) for healthcare workers who are professionally involved in sports medicine. There is a separate list for organizations primarily catering to coaches, personal trainers, and fitness centers. Some of these organizations offer professional credentialing or training to members, or may sponsor a medical journal or research.
