Medical Services
The athletic training staff assures that each student-athlete receives medical clearance through the recording of a personal medical history and insurance information, plus completion of a pre-participation physical exam performed free of charge by Rutgers Student Health Center.

A Certified Athletic Trainer and John P. DeFranza EMT-D provide event and practice coverage. A Certified athletic trainer is available every day for all RU-C student-athletes. The Athletic training staff is present at every Raptor competition site throughout the season.

In the event of an injury, all athletes can be referred to our team physicians for immediate medical treatment. Once treated, injury rehabilitation typically occurs in the athletic training room or at Therasport Physical Therapy. Student-athletes requiring surgery or extensive rehabilitation are typically treated through Rothman Institute Orthopaedics.
