The Center combines Indiana State's Athletic Training Services and Athletics' Strength and Conditioning units and focuses on providing independent medical care for student-athletes and support for improving athletes' performance. The Center implements recommendations by the NCAA Inter-association Consensus: Independent Medical Care for College Student-Athletes Best Practices, which has been endorsed by the National Athletic Trainers' Association and the National Strength and Conditioning Association, among other professional organizations.
"The Center builds on the deep history of athletic training education and practice at Indiana State University," said Caroline Mallory, Dean of the College of Health and Human Services. "We expect the Center to serve student-athletes and provide excellent opportunities for students in our degree programs to access experiential learning opportunities."
