Sports medicine is not offered as an independent medical
specialization in many countries, which is why the University of Continuing Education Krems has set itself the goal
of establishing an innovative interdisciplinary Master‘s
degree program in this field. The aim is to offer physicians
specialized further training across the entire spectrum of
sports medicine expertise.
