Completion of a Masters in Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM), to inform evidence-based medicine delivery and demonstrate professional competencies, is increasingly becoming a requirement within these sporting environments.1 The SEM Masters programme is open to nationally and internationally qualified medical doctors, physiotherapists, osteopaths and podiatrists (table 1).
