With the implementation of the “Health China 2030” strategy, sports medicine has played an increasingly important role in clinical treatment, chronic disease management, and population health promotion. West China Hospital of Sichuan University has actively explored the development and optimization of its sports medicine discipline outpatient management system, establishing a comprehensive model that integrates diagnosis and treatment, functional rehabilitation, exercise-based health management, and extended care services. This article systematically summarizes the practical experiences of the sports medicine outpatient department, including subspecialty setting, exercise prescription services, outpatient assistant mechanisms, online expert teams, multi-campus coordination, and full-process health management. Emphasizing a function-oriented and patient-centered approach, the article also discusses the extended value of outpatient services in translational research, smart healthcare, and preventive health strategies. This model provides a replicable and scalable reference for the development of sports medicine outpatient clinics.
