Visiting Athletic Trainer Information

Dear Certified Athletic Trainer:
We are looking forward to your visit to Central Methodist University and would like to assist you in anyway possible. A list of the equipment provided and key personnel to contact for help during your stay is listed below. The athletic training room is located in the first floor of the student center and will be open 1 1/2 hours prior to game time for your convenience. You must bring your own taping supplies if an athletic trainer will not be accompanying your team. Please call in advance or send a letter from the certified athletic trainer if any electrical modalities want to be used for your athletes. Please provide injury assessment and treatment parameters in the letter that is sent with your team/student athletic trainer. We hope your stay is a safe and enjoyable one. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything. We would like you to distribute this to all certified athletic trainers on your staff who might be traveling to CMU for any sporting event.
