Mission Statement

The Merced College Athletic Training Department delivers traditional athletic training and sports medicine services to the student-athletes of Merced College. The services provided to the student-athlete can be divided into four areas:

Prevention of athletic injuries.
Recognition, evaluation, and treatment of athlete injuries and illnesses.
Rehabilitation and reconditioning of all injuries incurred by student athletes.
Health and wellness education.

Our goal is to provide the student-athletes with the best health care possible. In providing these services, the athletic training staff strives to utilize the most efficient, proven and current technologies, including the best equipment available. Consistent with this goal, we aim to offer a health care system that is proactive in approach, reducing the risk of athletic injury for our student athletes; provide easily accessible sports medicine services that are responsive to the needs of the student-athlete; and facilitate injured student-athletes’ safe return to participation in athletic competition as soon as possible.

Our philosophy is that the needs of the student athlete will always be the first consideration for all members of the athletic training staff. The Merced College Athletic Training Department strives to be a program of recognized excellence in sports medicine. We will comply with the recommendations and guidelines as established by the California Community College Athletic Association’s Constitution and specifically the Medical Guidelines found in Bylaw 9.
