The Valparaiso University Sports Medicine staff is committed to the well-being of its 450-plus student-athletes. The department consists of four full-time athletic trainers and four graduate assistant athletic trainers - all of whom are nationally certified by the Board of Certification and licensed to practice in the state of Indiana. The full-time staff has a variety of educational backgrounds and experiences, including masters’ degrees in relevant fields, which allow them to provide comprehensive care for the student-athletes.

On a daily basis, the Sports Medicine Department provides preventative care, initial evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries. They work in tandem with coaches, strength coaches, orthopedic surgeons and staff at Lakeshore Bone and Joint Institute, the University Health Center, local family medicine practitioners and concussion specialists.
