Sports Medicine Requirements for Sports Clubs

The make-up pre-participation clinic for Club Sports physical examinations will take place on Tuesday September 20^th from 5P-6P.  The clinic will be run on a first come-first serve basis.  As long as you arrive at Sports Medicine by 6PM at the latest, the staff will stay and do your PE.  Sports Medicine is located at 160 Farber Hall on the South Campus.  If you are driving, use the Michael Road entrance off Bailey Avenue.  Farber Hall is located along one side of the Michael Parking Lot.  The cost for the PE’s is $30 (payable by cash, credit card, or check only).  There will NOT be any further make-up clinics scheduled this semester, so this is your last chance to comply with this requirement of the Sports Clubs program.  Note:  You will NOT be able to schedule your Sports Club pre-participation physical examination at Student Health Services (Michael Hall).  Instead, clinicians from Student Health will be providing this make-up clinic at Sports Medicine.
