SPORTS MEDICINE RESOURCES
As participants in club sports organizations, all members are entitled to access the services of the Sports Medicine Office for injury care and assistance. Emergency and follow-up care and referrals for orthopedic consultations or the appropriate medical facility are provided. If you are injured during a club sports organization activity, and you need medical attention off-campus, you must follow up with the Sports Medicine staff as directed by the attending athletic trainer and Worth Health Center. You must have medical clearance before resuming participation. If you need to visit a medical facility off-campus, it is important to contact Swarthmore Public Safety (publicsafety@swarthmore.edu) and the Sports Medicine Office (sportsmedicine@swarthmore.edu) via email once you've checked in.
Appointments
To schedule an appointment with the Sports Medicine Office, participants should email sportsmedicine@swarthmore.edu with their name, date of injury, club sports organization, and available times to meet.
Secondary Insurance
Swarthmore College provides special athletic accident insurance for students participating in intercollegiate and club sports. The coverage is in excess of a student’s family and College health and accident insurance, so claims resulting from the practice or play of club sports must first be submitted through the individual’s primary insurance coverage. If a student is injured while participating in a covered activity, the Department of Athletics, Physical Education, & Recreation needs to be aware of any medical coverage a student has to avoid delays in processing claims. Students should email sportsmedicine@swarthmore.edu with specific questions.
