We are an increasingly diverse Faculty. We work in different areas, in different specialties and different disciplines. This means there are many opportunities to contribute to both our work and the overall goal to improve the health of the nation through physical activity.
Current Opportunities
As a Member of FSEM, we provide you with the opportunity to join one of our committee or working groups, each of which involve driving forward specific objectives within the specialty of Sport and Exercise Medicine.
Below is a list of the roles currently available to members at the Faculty.
We are forming a working group, aimed at the global promotion and development of the Faculty’s examinations. The group will be chaired by Dr Alastair Nicol, the current Chair of the FSEM Exams Committee.
This role is intended for Fellows, Members or Diplomates of the Faculty. The preferred candidates will have experience working in Sport and Exercise Medicine outside of the UK, and have good knowledge and contacts in those overseas regions.
Following the formation of the group, there will be further meetings to identify and implement the determined strategy for the global promotion and development of the examinations.
Please apply by Sunday 5th January
A huge part of the Faculty’s work involves the development of the examinations available at the Faculty. To ensure we can maintain the excellent standards required to provide a high quality examination befitting of the SEM specialty, we require volunteers to support the question writing and standard setting of the examinations.
If you have recently passed any of the Diploma or specialty examinations and would like to support us with these examinations, please reach out to exams@fsem.ac.uk for more information.
