MISSION:

GENERAL INFORMATION:
The sports medicine staff consists of certified athletic trainers, team physicians, and other medical professionals that all work towards a common goal of returning student-athletes from injury as quickly as possible, while keeping student-athletes safety in the forefront of any care provided.
