SPORTS MEDICINE

The Department of Sports Medicine is responsible for the health and safety of all student-athletes.  The Sports Medicine staff reports to the team physician on all matters related to athletic injuries and rehabilitation and reports to the Director of Athletics for administrative direction and support.  The staff is credentialed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association as competent to evaluate, manage and rehabilitate all common athletic injuries.  In accordance with Commonwealth law, injuries to students who are not Cheyney University athletic team members may receive first aid from the sports medicine staff but must be referred to the University Health Center for all subsequent treatment.
