Communication

Due to the large volume of athletic training room users, it is difficult for me to call home for every evaluation that I perform.  We rely heavily on your student to help communicate about their athletic health care.  However, feel free to contact me by phone or email (or even on the sideline) to discuss your athlete further and I will be happy to hear from you.

Injury Reporting

Please help keep the athletic training staff apprised of anything that affects your student-athlete’s health regardless of whether or not the issue is a direct result of sports participation.  More information helps us make better health care treatment decisions, safer participation decisions, and more appropriate referrals.  Should your athlete need physician care for an injury/illness, a written note of clearance to participate must be on file in my office in order for your athlete to resume school athletics.

Appointments

Only occasionally will we make specific appointments with specific athletes.  Generally, we try to help athletes as they come in.  However, during peak flow times, the athletic trainer is forced to triage cases taking into account such things as athletic departure schedules, contest schedules, practice schedules, severity of injury, etc.  It is not uncommon for athletes to be asked for their patience while we try to provide services to all.
