Athletic Trainers

• New or Transfer Student Medical Form
• Returning Student Medical Form 
• Athletic Trainer Referral
• Therapeutic Modalities

There are two full-time athletic trainers at Elms College who have extensive experience in the recognition, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The athletic trainers are certified through the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA), are current in first aid and CPR, and are licensed in the state of Massachusetts.

The athletic trainers work with student athletes to make sure they achieve their athletic potential safely. When a student athlete incurs an injury during an athletic event or practice, an Elms College athletic trainer works with him or her on devising and implementing an individualized plan for return to their sport.

A physician's assistant from New England Orthopedic Surgeons in Springfield visits Elms College every two weeks for on-campus consultations with student-athletes. In addition, Dr. Martin Lesser, medical director of the Elms College Wellness Center, is available for consultation.
