UNIVERSITY OF PORTLAND SPORTS MEDICINE MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the University of Portland Sports Medicine Department is to create a seamless healthcare network for all of the University’s intercollegiate student-athletes and provide our patients, the student-athletes, with access to high quality medical care. The Sports Medicine Staff will operate within the policies outlined in the University of Portland Sports Medicine Policies and Procedures Manual, the NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook and the NCAA manual. Through an inclusive physical and psychological approach, as well as personal interaction, we strive to enhance the academic and athletic experience of each University of Portland student-athlete. This is accomplished by:

· Respecting the dignity of each student-athlete and recognizing differences in gender, race, and cultural background.

· Maintaining confidentiality of both written and verbal information obtained from the student-athlete.

· Being cognizant of the total student-athlete, including his/her emotional, mental, and physical needs.

· Thoroughly and competently evaluating each student-athlete in accordance with the laws of the state of Oregon governing the practice of athletic training, and the Standards of Practice of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, and referring the student-athlete to the designated team physician when necessary.

· Accurately and regularly documenting each student athlete’s healthcare and progress.

· Providing a multidisciplinary approach that utilizes the most up-to-date techniques in sports medicine. Our team includes physicians, certified athletic trainers, physical therapists, sports nutrition, sports psychology, chiropractic care, as well as specialists throughout the Portland area.

· Providing injury treatment and rehabilitation that is individually designed with emphasis on prevention of possible future injury, as well as returning the student-athlete to competition as quickly and safely as possible.

· Providing evidenced-based injury treatment and rehabilitation techniques and utilizing a variety of technology and philosophical approaches.

· Generating an atmosphere of mutual cooperation, respect, and support among the team physician (s), the athletic coaching staff, the athletic and University administration, and other University departments.

· Compliance with Department, University, West Coast Conference and NCAA rules.
