The Wesleyan University Athletic Injury Care staff provides sports medicine services to Wesleyan University intercollegiate athletes. Our staff consists of NATABOC certified athletic trainers, who are licensed by the state of Connecticut. Services provided include: prevention, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate care, injury treatment, rehabilitation and reconditioning for athletic injuries. Patient education is an important component of the care provided by the athletic injury care staff. 

The Athletic Injury Care staff work under the supervision of Kelsey Logan, M.D., Team Physician for Wesleyan Athletics. We work in conjunction with several other physicians who possess expertise in various areas. The Athletic Injury Care staff also offers referrals to physicians, physical therapists, psychologists, nutritionists, and other specialists. The supervising physician and the NCAA Sports medicine handbook serve as the basis for policy decisions.

Lightning Safety Tips
Remember:
"When you hear it, fear it." (thunder)
"When you see it, flee it." (lightning)

Lightning is the #2 cause of death by weather phenomena. People participating in outdoor activities are at risk during thunderstorms. Lightning is generally accompanied by thunder, but 20-40% of the time it is NOT accompanied by thunder, due to atmospheric disturbances.

In The Event of A Storm, Seek Shelter Indoors.
Dugouts and other shelters that are not fully enclosed ARE NOT SAFE!

AVOID:
*Large trees
*Flag/light poles
*Metal objects (bleachers,equipment
and umbrellas)
*Standing water
*Outdoor pools and showers.

As a last resort for shelter: Find a car, ravine, ditch or valley for safety.

DANGER:
-If you hair stands up on end, you are in imminent danger.
-Get into the "lightning safe" position immediately (squat on the balls of your feet in a curled up position).
-Never lie flat on the ground as that increases surface area.

Both the NCAA and the NATA recommend waiting 30 minutes from the last visible lightning strike, to return to activity.
