Athletic Training
Bowdoin College Athletic Training Department is committed to
the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of all athletic
injuries sustained to our student athletes. Our department is
comprised of 5 full time NATABOC Certified Athletic Trainers and 1
licensed physical therapist. In order to provide a standard
of excellence in sports medicine, the athletic training department
is supported by the medical director of the college and team
physician from OA Centers for Orthopedics.
The Athletic Training Department believes that
the needs of the student-athlete shall always be the first
consideration. Our athletic trainers are dedicated to using
whatever technology is available and affordable in the delivery of
these services. We will remain committed to the
continuous upgrading of the education, clinical skills development
and equipment used in the delivery of athletic training services so
that our student-athletes will be assured of the most modern care
available in the country.
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 athletic training is available for review in the athletic director's office and the athletic training facility

Athletic
Training Information
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 athletic
training staff in a timely manner, reporting for treatments
and rehabilitation as directed.
All injuries must be reported to the athletic training staff
for evaluation, treatment and referral. Medical referral will
be 
made when deemed necessary. The role of the athletic training
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 athletic training 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 athletic training 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).
