Athletic Training at Carson-Newman

Athletic Training is an allied health profession that is recognized by the American Medical Association. Certified Athletic Trainers, under the direction of a licensed physician, provide health care for athletes and those who are physically active within six areas of clinical practice: prevention, clinical evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation and reconditioning, organization and administration and professional responsibilities. At Carson-Newman College, there are two distinct, yet tightly interwoven athletic training programs, one aimed at providing health care for the Eagles & Lady Eagles and one geared toward the education of future athletic trainers. If you would like more information about the CAATE accredited athletic training education program, please contact Eugene Dupas, Interim ATEP Director, at 865-471-4650.

Athletic Training Services at Carson-Newman College delivers traditional athletic training and sports medicine services to Eagle and Lady Eagle student-athletes. We are committed 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 skill development, and equipment used in the delivery of athletic training and sports medicine services so that our student-athletes will be assured of the most modern care available.

The purpose of the athletic training services program is four-fold:
1. allow easy access to athletic training and sports medicine services to student-athlete
2. encourage a philosophy of sport that places a high value on health and wellness
3. enable injured student-athletes to return to their sports as soon as is medically safe
4. substantially reduce the risk of athletic injury for those student-athletes in our service.

The underlying philosophy for the athletic training services program is that the needs of the student-athlete shall always be the first consideration for all members of the sports medicine staff. We are committed to ongoing evaluation of our athletic training services program so that our student-athlete can be assured of the highest quality in athletic training and sports medicine care. Furthermore, we are committed to addressing problems and concerns in a timely manner so the needs of our student-athletes and employees can continue to be met.

Finally, Athletic Training Services at Carson-Newman College aspires to be a program of recognized excellence. It is our intention to support the program with human and financial resources necessary to accomplish the shared goals of the program. It is our desire to establish Carson-Newman College as one of the outstanding providers for the delivery of athletic training services in the nation.
