Seattle University Athletic Training Mission Statement

Seattle University and the Athletic Training Department is specifically charged with protecting the health of and providing a safe environment for each of its student-athletes as it coordinates and provides health care to the student-athletes in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.

The process of ensuring safety, as well as coordinating and providing health care, involves many different administrative and clinical responsibilities which are supervised and carried out by the certified athletic training staff. Administratively, the staff's duties include, coordination of pre-participation physicals, managing athletic medical insurance policy, establishment of emergency medical plans, maintenance of medical records, and establishing medical coverage and staffing policy as it relates to practices and events.

The more visible of the staff's duties are those that involve injury prevention, first aid and emergency medical care, and the assessment, management, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries and other medical conditions. Additionally the staff coordinates physician referrals, schedules radiological and laboratory testing, determines participation status, and provides a constant source of education and counseling to athletes and their parents regarding medical issues.  Decisions regarding medical clearance and athletic participation status are the sole responsibility of the Seattle University certified athletic training and team physician staff.

NCAA Drug Testing

The NCAA has year-round drug testing for all sports at the Division I level. Athletes will be subject to NCAA drug testing before, during and after their competitive season. If an athlete tests positive for a banned substance, that athlete will be declared ineligible for further participation in accordance with ineligibility provision in Bylaw 18.4.1.5.1.
