Sports and medicine are intertwined to a degree that not many people realize. The field of sports medicine serves not just professional and student-athletes but also regular people who work in physical jobs or enjoy active hobbies.[1]
Though some think of sports medicine as a modern specialization of the medical field, it dates back as early as the fifth century! In ancient Greece, skilled physicians treated a wide variety of athletic injuries during and after the Olympics.[2]
Even outside of sports medicine, there’s a connection between the two fields. Like just about everyone, medical professionals love sports — and some professional athletes love medicine!
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Jean-Philippe Darche, James Bradley, Myron Rolle, and NFL Hall-of-Famer Dan Fortmann are just a few football players who have pursued second careers in the medical field.[3]
If your own medicine-to-sports connection is simply that you work or study in the medical field and love fantasy football, we have more than 40 team name ideas for you in the list below.

How to Create Your Own Medical Fantasy Football Team Names
If none of the options on our list are perfect for you, use these tips to create your own medical fantasy football team names:
- Choose a name related to your specialty or unique interests. What type of medicine do you practice or study? For example, are you specializing in pathology, or do you have an interest in the history of battlefield medicine? Choose a name specific to what you love most in medicine, so it really reflects you and is unique from some of the more well-known medical fantasy football team name options.
- Make puns based on your favorite players’ names. This is common among all types of fantasy football team names, but by combining a player’s name with medical terminology, you can create a funny name that fits your niche.
- Crack open your medical reference books. You can get inspiration for your name from interesting case studies, diseases, and procedures. Choose something obscure that will puzzle your most knowledgeable colleagues, or go for a reference even the average patient would understand.
