Training Welcome to the Delaware Valley College Athletic Training
Department. Important Information:
Mission Statement: The Delaware Valley College Athletic
Training Staff delivers traditional athletic training and sports medicine services
to the student athletes of DVC. The services to be delivered can be broken down
into five areas: injury prevention (screening, taping, bracing, padding), injury
recognition and evaluation, injury management/treatment and disposition (emergency
care, referrals), rehabilitation, and education and counseling.
The purpose
of the athletic training staff is fourfold. First, we desire to allow efficient
access to athletic training services to the student’s athletes. Second,
we hope to encourage a philosophy of sport that places a high value on health
and wellness. Third, we hope to enable injured athletes to return to their sport
as soon as medically safe. Finally, we hope to substantially reduce the risk of
athletic injury the athletes at DVC. All members of the DVC
Athletic Training Staff engages in the treatment and disposition of student intercollegiate
athletes are fully responsible to the team physician with respect to any and all
matters which involve the health and welfare of the student athlete. Each
student-athlete must receive a physical from his or her primary physician prior
to each season at Delaware Valley College. They must also provide the Athletic
Training Room with a copy of his or her insurance card (front and back) and a
completed Insurance Verification Form. (PLEASE NOTE: Due to privacy laws,
information cannot be shared between the Athletic Training Room and the Health
