Malone University Sports Medicine  Mission:

The Malone University sports medicine staff will provide the best possible illness and injury care, treatment, rehabilitation, and reconditioning to all intercollegiate student-athletes at Malone. We will work in cooperation with the university health center staff and community health care providers. The sports medicine staff is committed to providing all healthcare services in a professional manner that demonstrates care, concern, and compassion. We acknowledge that the student-athlete should have a positive athletic career and be able to live the rest of his/her life to its fullest.

Athletic Trainer Goal and Cooperative Statement:

The athletic trainer is the athlete’s first contact in the medical care process. All illnesses and injuries are to be reported to the athletic trainer, first with the team athletic trainer then with any other Malone staff athletic trainer. The athletic trainer will initiate appropriate care for the condition and/or refer the athlete to an appropriate healthcare provider. The athletic trainer will communicate with the student-athlete and the coaching staff during the care of an illness/injury. The goal of the athletic trainer is to return the athlete to activity as soon as the condition(s) is resolved and/or the risk of further or new injury/illness is equal to or less than pre-injury/illness conditions.

Location of the Athletic Training Room:
The training room is located between the men's locker room and the athletic office in Osborne Hall.
