OUR MISSION
The Athletic Training program at Alma College exists to provide
student-athletes with an opportunity to participate in intercollegiate
athletics in a healthy and safe environment. Our goals are
prevention, first aid, evaluation and treatment of athletic-related
injuries, follow-up and rehabilitation, and counseling on available
treatment options. We will help provide the medical resources
necessary to allow student-athletes to return to play as soon and as
safe as possible.
