well-being of its student athletes. Our sports medicine medical team is comprised of our medical
director (Dr. Scott Boyens), team orthopedic surgeon (Dr. Kristofer Kimber) and five certified athletic
trainers. Both of our team physicians host a sports medicine clinic on Monday afternoons (3:30-5:00 pm)
throughout the academic year in the main Athletic Training room. Any student athlete requesting to see
one of the physicians must be referred by one of the certified athletic trainers. All student athletes are
REQUIRED to report to a member of the certified athletic training staff any injury / illness which requires
medical attention.

Campus Health Clinic in Solberg Hall (lower level). Office hours are Monday-Friday from 8:30 am – 3:30

covers athletic injuries. Student athletes are not eligible to participate in any supervised athletic team
