Sports Medicine
Mission statement
The Missouri S&T Sports Medicine Program seeks to provide cutting-edge healthcare that is organized, professional, and efficient as to ensure that our student-athletes can maintain a high quality of life and continue to achieve academic success.
About MISSOURI S&T sports medicine
The Missouri S&T Sports Medicine team consists of three full time athletic trainers, four intern athletic trainers, an in-house team doctor, an orthopedic nurse, and an insurance coordinator. Our Sports Medicine team works closely with two orthopedic surgeons that are employed by Phelps Health. Our Sports Medicine team works under Student Health Services. This allows for us to work closer with a medical team and helps us to be recognized as health care professionals.
We have three athletic training rooms that we utilize. The Kaczmarek Sports Medicine Facility is in the Student Health Complex and is primarily used for rehabilitation. The Athletic Training Room in the Gale Bullman multipurpose building is used for pre- and post- practice treatments for indoor sports. Finally, we have an Athletic Training Room located in the football fieldhouse which is used primarily for all football pre- and post- practice treatments.

New Student Athletes
Welcome to S&T Sports Medicine! View the New Student Athlete Letter.
Click here to complete forms on patient portal.
Our physical process is very thorough and will be scheduled by your coach and athletic trainer. Before we do your physical we need all athletes to fill out the forms that are posted on their student portal. If you have had any surgery or fractures in the last five years we need the records before you arrive for your physical. During the physical process you will have a regular physical exam, an orthopedic screening, an EKG, an ImPACT test, and a sickle cell test if you have not already had one. It takes two days to get the results back from the sickle cell test and you cannot participate until then, so please have this done before you get to campus. If you have any questions please contact your athletic trainer.
Returning Student Athletes
At the start of every year we need all athletes to submit a copy of their most recent insurance card. You can email a copy to your athletic trainer and/or put it on Front Rush. You also need to fill out the yearly medical appraisal form on Front Rush.
Also, please notify your athletic trainer if you have changed the dosage of any medications you are taking or started taking a new medication.
