| FORT HAYS STATE SPORTS MEDICINE / ATHLETIC TRAINING |
The mission of our Athletic Training Department at Fort Hays State University is to deliver the highest quality athletic training and sports medicine services available to our student-athletes. Athletic Trainers (AT’s) are healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians to optimize intercollegiate participation for our student-athletes in many ways. Athletic training includes the prevention, clinical evaluation and diagnosis of injuries and conditions; as well as the immediate care, treatment, and rehabilitation of those injuries and conditions. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA) as a healthcare profession. Our Athletic Trainers at Fort Hays State University are certified by the Board of Certification (BOC) and are licensed by the state of Kansas as healthcare professionals.
Our Athletic Training staff is comprised of four full-time and three graduate-assistant Athletic Trainers, who work under the supervision of Fort Hays State University team physician Dr. Wally Walstrom, who is a sports medicine trained general medical practitioner. We also provide referrals to several other orthopedic surgeons and manual therapists with varied specialties and backgrounds. In addition to these networks, we work closely with FHSU Student Health and the Kelly Center as well as Hays Medical Center and Hays Orthopedics to give our student-athletes the best possible care.
