In support of the Universities mission of Faith, Service and Reason, the mission of the Athletic Training Department is to provide the student-athlete with quality healthcare based on these Benedictine Values. The Athletic Training Staff will strive to provide every student-athlete with the most comprehensive, highest quality individual health care available in a professional, compassionate and service-oriented manner. A reason based approach of prevention, evaluation and treatment will assure a positive and healthy recovery experience.  An approach of long-term quality of life, safe return to full athletic participation and continued athletic success is what the Athletic Training Staff will strive for all student-athletes.

The Saint Martin's University Athletic Training Room staff consists of a Team Physician and two full-time athletic trainers licensed in the State of Washington to practice athletic training. The certified athletic trainers are responsible for the care, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries and related illnesses that a student-athlete may incur during his/her athletic career at Saint Martin's University.  The team physician is a resource for our athletes and coaches when there is an injury. There is also Athletic Training Room clinics held several times a month for our student athletes that need care/consult with our team physician.

The most important responsibility of the certified athletic trainer is to assess a student-athlete's injury or medical condition, provide the appropriate initial treatment, and if necessary, refer the student-athlete to the Saint Martin's University team physician or other outside appropriate medical specialists for further care.  The Saint Martin's University Student Health Center has an experienced medical support staff consisting of a Physician's Assistant and Licensed Nurse Practitioner.  These individuals are available for consultations and to provide a valuable service to injured, as well as, ill student-athletes.
