Athletic Trainers (ATs) are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Penn State Greater Allegheny Athletic Training services are focused on the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries sustained to our student athletes. Sports 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 sports medicine staff in a timely manner, and reporting for treatments and rehabilitation as directed.

Penn State Greater Allegheny Athletic Training Services and the team physician have the final authority to determine if a student-athlete is removed or withheld from participation due to an injury, an illness or pregnancy. In adition, clearance for that inidividual to return to activity is solely the responsibility of the university and/or team's physician (or that physician's designated representatives).

Penn State Greater Allegheny Athletic Training Services, UPMC, and UPMC Sports Medicine provide a Team Physician as well as access to a wide variety of sports medicine care through UPMC Sports Medicine.

All student-athletes must come to pre-season camp with a completed physical, PSUAC packet, emergency medical information and student-athlete information to be submitted to either Athletic Director or Athletic Training staff.
