Sports Med Club contract

The Sports Medicine Club meets once per month after school. The meetings are typically held in the athletic training room or the Academy for Sports Medicine classroom. During the meetings, various topics in the field of Sports Medicine, such as nutrition, injury etiology, evaluations and treatment are discussed. In addition to the field of sports medicine, other allied health professions such as physical, occupational, and massage therapy, chiropractic medicine, podiatry and orthopedics are discussed via guest speakers. If students involved in the club are interested in gaining further knowledge, they are encouraged to observe what occurs in the Roxbury High School athletic training room as well as on the field during athletic contests. During their observations, they are taught basic first aid principles, taping and padding techniques as well as some injury evaluation techniques. At no time are they allowed to treat an athlete.
