Athletic Training
Bowdoin College is committed to the development of a safe
intercollegiate athletics program by protecting the health and well
being of its student-athletes, as well as by providing a safe sport
environment. The NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook developed by the
NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of
Sports and the National Athletic Trainers Association's Policy
Statements are used as a guide in establishing recommendations and
procedures for preventing and managing athletic related injuries at
Bowdoin College. A detailed Policy & Procedures Manual for
Sports Medicine is available for review in the athletic director's
office and the athletic training facility.
Athletic
Training Services Are Provided for:
1. Bowdoin College Varsity Intercollegiate Athletics.
2. Visiting Intercollegiate teams scheduled to participate at
Bowdoin College.
At Bowdoin College, the evaluation and care for athletic
injuries/illnesses is based on standing orders. These protocols are
established between the team physician, the university physician
and Bowdoin College Sports Medicine Department.
Providing effective quality health care to our student-athletes
requires the group effort of the sports medicine team at Bowdoin
College. The sports medicine team consists of the university
medical director; the team physician(s); the certified athletic
trainers and student athletic trainers; the certified strength and
conditioning specialists; and various consultants in the areas of
cardiology, neurology, primary care, orthopedic specialties,
dentistry, ophthalmology, and counseling.
Athletic
Training Information
Bowdoin College Sports Medicine Department focuses on the
prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries
sustained to our student-athletes. Sport participation in
intercollegiate athletics involves an inherent risk of injury, and
the student-athlete must share in the responsibility of prevention
through following established safety protocols, communicating and
reporting injuries to the sports medicine staff in a timely
manner,
reporting for treatments and rehabilitation as directed.
All injuries must be reported to the sports medicine staff
for evaluation,
treatment and referral. Medical referral will be made when deemed
necessary. The role of the sports medicine staff is to assist the
athlete in returning to sport participation following an injury as
quickly and safely as possible. In order to return the athlete
safely back to sport participation, coaches and athletes must
immediately inform the sports medicine staff of all injuries
sustained while participating in
sports. The athlete must also directly communicate any concerns
that he/she may have regarding his/her injury evaluation,
treatment, and rehabilitation program to the sports medicine
staff.
Bowdoin College Athletic Training and the team physician have the
final authority to determine when a student-athlete is removed or
withheld from participation due to an injury, an illness or
pregnancy. In addition, clearance for that individual to return to
activity is solely the responsibility of the college and/or
team's physician (or that physician's designated
representative).
