Sports medicine is identified and accredited as an athletic training major. The www.nata.org website has a list of all athletic training education programs. The NATA is a great resource.
Aso, if you would like to be a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, I encourage you to enroll in a major or program that ais to help student get into medical school. The American Medical Association may have information about requirements for medical school.
