Doctors | Facilities | Mission Statement | Staff
The Sports Medicine Division at Hardin-Simmons is one of the
best in all of Division III athletics and is committed to providing
the best possible medical care to HSU’s student-athletes
through “Caring for Champions”. It is the desire of the
Athletic Training staff to promote an atmosphere of excellence in
both the classroom and in competition.
The Sports Medicine staff is comprised of State Licensed and
Nationally Certified athletic trainers and delivers quality health
care to all 450 student-athletes. The care provided by the staff
includes a multitude of services to HSU student-athletes, primarily
focusing on the prevention, assessment, management, treatment,
rehabilitation and education of athletic related injuries and
conditions. Specific emphasis is placed on therapeutic exercise in
the treatment of athletic injuries and the student-athletes return
to play. The Sports Medicine staff is also responsible for
preparing student-athletes for daily practice, weekly competitions
and contests as well scheduling medical referrals to HSU Team
Physicians. Daily treatment and rehabilitation take place in one of
the three athletic training rooms located on the HSU campus in the
Jake Sandefer Fieldhouse, Mabee Athletic Complex, and the New Grape
Street Athletic Complex.
Working hand in hand with the Division of Sports Medicine is the
Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP). The ATEP prepares
athletic training majors for a future in athletic training and
sports medicine. Throughout an athletic training students time in
the ATEP he/she will have the opportunities to gain valuable sports
medicine clinical experience at all three HSU clinical sites, and
will enjoy additional clinical rotational sites at Abilene Sports
Medicine and Orthopedics, West Texas Rehab Sports Center, Abilene
Wylie High School and Abilene Cooper High School. Current graduates
of the HSU ATEP have gained employment throughout the country in
various high schools, clinics and universities. Students interested
in majoring in athletic training and gaining acceptance into the
ATEP are encouraged to visit the Athletic
Training Education Program website.
