Graduate Athletic Training Assistantship

Under the direction of Head Team Physician / Director of Sports Medicine Dr. Gordon Matheson, and Head Athletic Trainer Scott Anderson, the Stanford University Athletic Training staff coordinates comprehensive medical services to 36 athletic programs and over 900 student-athletes.

The 10 team physicians who provide direct supervision to the Athletic Training staff are faculty from the Division of Sports Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics, in the School of Medicine at Stanford University. In addition, the Sports Medicine Program uses 40 consultants and specialists on its Sports Medicine Advisory Team.

In addition to the main Athletic Training Room in the Arrillaga Family Sports Center, the Sports Medicine Department operates two additional satellite facilities located in Maples Pavilion and Burnham Pavilion. These facilities provide limited services and their availability is dependent on facility usage and seasonal requirements.

Located on the ground level of the Arrillaga Family Sports Center is the newly renovated, state-of-the-art Phillip & Penelope Knight Athletic Training Room, staffed by 11 full-time Certified Athletic Trainers. This full time staff provides evaluation, management, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries sustained by Stanford student athletes. Stanford Athletic Training also employs 8 Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainers, and multiple Athletic Training Students. All Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainers and undergraduate Athletic Training Students (ATS) are staffed in conjunction with the accredited CAATE Athletic Training curriculums at San Jose State University.

Certified Athletic Trainers are highly qualified, multi-skilled allied health care professionals and have been part of the American Medical Association's Health Professions Career and Education Directory for more than a decade. Additionally, the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics and American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine - among others - are all strong clinical and academic supporters of Certified Athletic Trainers.

During the academic year, the main Athletic Training Room will be open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on week ends and holidays, athletic competition and practices will dictate hours. During the summer months the athletic training room operates on a reduced schedule.

The main Athletic Training Room’s general phone number is (650) 723-1214. A message can be left at this number for your team athletic trainer. If you have an emergency after hours, the on-call Certified Athletic Trainer can be reached by calling (650) 217-1827.

Through this organizational model, in conjunction with resources provided by Stanford Hospital and the Team Physician staff at the Stanford University Sports Medicine Center, the Athletic Training staff at Stanford University delivers unmatched health care to its Cardinal student-athletes.
