Sports Medicine
The mission of the Sports Medicine/Athletic Training staff at the University of Pittsburgh is to provide the highest quality of healthcare to our student-athlete population. This is accomplished through our direct involvement and daily care as well as our unique relationship with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and it's many available resources.
Through the development of the Performance Team, a multidisciplinary approach including Certified Athletic Trainers, Team Physicians, Nutritionists, Certified Strength Coaches, Sports Psychologists, and various other medical professionals, we are able to provide and consistently maintain a high level of service regardless of sport, gender, or degree of ability.
In addition to prevention, recognition, immediate care, treatment, and rehabilitation of physical injuries and illnesses, we also make certain that our student-athletes are provided with the proper direction in all areas of mental well-being.
Any athlete that has not received & cleared a full physical evaluation through the University of Pittsburgh Sports Medicine Department will not be allowed to participate in any activities with their respective team.
