<p>How do you become a team physician, like a doctor for the Lakers or other sport teams??? What steps do you have to take (go to med school?, major?, program?) I really wanna be a team doctor for the los angeles lakers!!</p>
<p>i think the major is exercise science</p>
<p>To be a team doctor, you definitely will have to go to medical school. Then there is a field called sports medicine; I don't know if that's an official specialty that you can pursue a residency in, but that's the field in which you'll want to practice</p>
<p>Go pre-med or pre physical therapy, possibly majoring in athletic training if your school offers it...its a very good major, usually a requirement is being on the sidelines of many of your school's sports teams helping them. Kinesiology (sp?) is also good. A minor in business or coaching would also help. Then specialize in sports medicine, physical therapy, orthopedics, something like that in med school/residency.</p>
