SERVICES
The University of Washington Athletic Training Department is a state of the art health care facility. Ten Certified Athletic Trainers, along with approximately twenty Student Interns provide for the prevention and care of athletic injuries to Husky Athletes. The Athletic Training Department is supported by a number of Physicians at the University of Washington Sports Medicine Clinic, located next to the Hec Edmonson Pavilion. The University of Washington Sports Medicine Department offers practical experience to a limited number of students interested in health related fields. Athletic Trainers are responsible for the prevention, evaluation, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. Student interns work with Certified Athletic Trainers and Team Physicians to provide general health care to all NCAA Division I athletic programs at the University of Washington. Due to changes in educational standards by the National Athletic Trainers Association, the University of Washington can no longer offer a direct rout to certification. If you are interested in applying to intern with the Sports Medicine program please visit our application page.

University of Washington work in cooperation with the Husky
Strength and Conditioning Department to develop strategies
for preventing injuries from occurring. This involves
teaching and implementing proper warm-up and stretching
activities, identifying and strengthening weak or vulnerable
muscles and joints, and proper nutritional advising.
