The New York University Sports Medicine Staff, under the direction of Supervising Physician, Dr. Dennis Cardone, is committed to the overall health, well-being, and safety of over 850 student-athletes participating in varsity athletics and club sports.
To accomplish our goal of comprehensive and holistic care for every student-athlete, we utilize a multidisciplinary approach including evidence-based rehabilitation techniques and therapeutic interventions. Additionally, we utilize the skill sets of multiple domains: sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, nutritionists, concussion specialists, and mental-health experts. Our mission includes helping the student-athletes excel in their respective sports while also keeping their short and long-term health at the forefront of our medical decisions. We are committed to providing the best possible care to all student-athletes and ensure that we continue to evolve with the ever-changing field of sports medicine.
Athletic training encompasses the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of emergent, acute or chronic injuries and medical conditions. Our athletic training staff consists of 5 full-time and 2 part-time athletic trainers. Although our athletic trainers are assigned and travel with specific sports, we encourage student-athletes to come visit any of our staff for medical advice and treatment during regular operating hours.
