In the event injury is sustained during your time as a Lafayette student-athlete, this page has been designed as a resource to not only expedite care but to also better assist your continuation of care.

Injuries Occurring on Campus
If you have sustained an injury or illness on campus, the Lafayette College Sports Medicine team is here to help. During team activities, student-athletes can seek triage and immediate care with the designated licensed athletic trainer on-site. We understand that injuries and illness can present insidiously or away from the facility. Please contact a member of our staff right away. This link provides contact information to our staff.

Returning to Campus After Injury
If you have sustained an injury away from campus and have been treated by a healthcare professional, please print the Release Form, complete, and submit to your treating healthcare provider. Records can be faxed to Lafayette College Sports Medicine at 610-330-5811.
