Athletic Training Services
Every student-athlete at Florida Southern College is entitled to
quality medical care while participating as a member of an athletic
team. The athletic training/medical staff coordinates and delivers
professional and comprehensive preventive care, treatment,
rehabilitation and counseling services to all FSC student-athletes.
The goal of athletic training services is to keep each
student-athlete healthy and injury free. In the case of injury or
illness, the staff will provide quality medical care enabling the
student-athlete to return to participation both as a student and an
athlete.
The athletic training staff is comprised of three full-time
nationally-certified and state-licensed athletic trainers. Florida
Southern College also has an athletic training education program.
Athletic training students from the program assist the staff
athletic trainers in daily operations of the athletic training
facility. The athletic training facility is located in Jenkins Field
House. The facility is well equipped to provide treatment and
rehabilitation of athletic injuries.
The FSC sports medicine team is comprised of two orthopedic team
physicians and consulting physicians in several specialties. All of
these professionals work together to meet the student-athlete’s
health care needs.
