Abstract

The rapid growth of participation in contact sports has been accompanied by an increasing need for sporting event coverage by qualified physicians. The competition physician must not only be capable in contemporary emergency and sports medicine, but must also have organizational skills to coordinate satisfactory medical and ancillary backup. This monograph outlines a comprehensive plan for efficient preparation and execution of on-site sports injury assessment and care. With knowledge, organization, and preparation, competition coverage can be a satisfying component of a sports medicine practice.
