Dr. William Roberts of the University of Minnesota suggests the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, an organization he belongs to. Its members, he said, tend to be athletic and its Web site, www.amssm.org, has a link for finding doctors.

Dr. Paul Thompson of Hartford Hospital notes that a group he belongs to, the American Medical Athletic Association, a division of the American Running Association, provides referrals to doctors who tend to be runners. The runners’ association Web site, www.americanrunning.org, has a link for professional referral.

New York Road Runners also has a list of athlete-doctors in the "membership benefits" section on its site, Click Here
