Roland Park Country School employs two full-time certified Athletic Trainers, who are responsible for the overall health and wellness of student-athletes in both Middle School and Upper School. The athletic trainers are available to see student-athletes during the school day by appointment and before and after practices and competitions in the afternoon.
Athletic Trainers (ATs) are health care professionals who provide services in the risk reduction, wellness and health literacy, assessment, evaluation and diagnosis, critical incident management, therapeutic intervention, health care administration and professional responsibility. Athletic Trainers practice under the direction of a physician and must meet the qualifications set by a state licensure and the Board of Certification, Inc.
The athletic trainers work closely with the school nurse, physicians, and other medical professionals to provide the best possible care for our student athletes. Any student-athlete who suffers an injury or condition requiring treatment or evaluation by a physician or other health care professional should request a note detailing diagnosis and any instructions or limitations. The school nurse is responsible for receiving such written documentation, which is required for participation in athletics and PE.
