Athletic Trainers (ATs) are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians. The services provided by Athletic Trainers include prevention, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
Philosophy of Athletic Training:
It is the goal of the Athletic Trainer to protect each athlete from bodily harm and injury during intercollegiate athletic participation. If and when an injury/illness occurs because of the inherent factors of sport participation, the prevention of re-injury is of utmost importance. Within the realm of good medical judgment, we will help the coaching staff and student-athletes achieve their goals for athletic success in whatever way we possibly can.
The Athletic Training staff consists of the Head Athletic Trainer, per diem athletic trainers, orthopedic doctors and all college health professionals. All athletic injuries and illness must be reported to the athletic training staff.
The Athletic Training Center is located on the Mezzanine Level in the APEX Gymnasium of the Lehman College.
It is open to all student-athletes for evaluation of injuries and treatments from 1PM – 8PM Monday – Friday.
Times may vary due to game coverage by the athletic training staff.
Medical Clearance Guidelines:
In order to participate in intercollegiate athletic practices, try outs, or competitions all student athletes must be issued a medical clearance by the Head Athletic Trainer. Below there are two links for student athletes, click on the link for the category you are in.
