Athletics: Athletic Training

WJC Athletic Training Mission:

To provide optimal medical care to the student-athletes of William Jewell College in accordance with all guidelines set by the William Jewell Athletic Department, Heart of America Athletic Conference, and National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics. The Sports Medicine Team, consisting of certified Athletic Trainer’s, orthopedic surgeons, nurses, and dentists, will strive to utilize prevention, recognition, evaluation, treatment, referral, and rehabilitative techniques in an effort to return student-athletes to his/her respective sport in the most expedited and safest manners possible. Sports Medicine team members will remain cognizant of the “total” athlete, including mental, emotional, and physical needs.

In accordance with the state laws of the State of Missouri, as well as the Professional Code of Ethics set forth by the National Athletic Trainer’s Association, certified Athletic Trainer’s will conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times and the welfare of the student-athletes will be the primary consideration. No student-athlete will be discriminated against on the basis of race, gender, athletic ability, or sport. These same values and considerations will be elicited in the concern of student-athletes from visiting institutions. 

William Jewell Athletic Training staff serves as an approved clinical site for the Park University Athletic Training Education Program.  Students gain valuable hands on experience in the athletic training room during their semester long rotations.
