Practice vs research: Sports medicine involves the practical application of science to help patients prevent and recover from sports related disease and injury and whereas sports science focuses on the research and education aspects of this field including both the disease/injury side along with performance enhancement which would be utilized by athletes, coaches, trainers, etc

Confusing: Lots of doctors like to claim they are sports medicine but only those that are physicians that have done a special fellowship in sports medicine are truly sports medicine. Other avenues in health care include sports nutritionist, sports physical therapy, sports psychology and sports chiropractor. Sports scientist to do research and study the effect of sport or exercise on the human body.
