Athletic training has been a fixture in Notre Dame athletics since the days of Knute Rockne. Notre Dames first-known athletic trainer was Eugene Scrap Iron Young, who began providing care to student-athletes in the 1920s. Athletic training continued to evolve and expand along with the Universitys athletic growth. From Youngs first days to today, Notre Dames athletic training department has developed into a fully-staffed sports medicine team with two state-of-the-art facilities.

In support of the Universitys primary goals of spiritual, intellectual and physical development of its students, the mission of the Sports Medicine Department is to fashion a program founded on integrity, accountability and scientific evidence-based doctrine.

The Sports Medicine staff will strive to provide every student-athlete with the most comprehensive, highest quality individual sports medicine health care available in a professional, efficient, compassionate and service-oriented manner.

A diversified program of prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation will assure a positive healthy recovery experience, an improved quality of life, a safe return to full athletic participation and continued athletic success.

Head athletic trainer and physical therapist Jim Russ oversees the athletic training services. The staff includes a football athlete trainer, five associate athletic trainers and nine assistant athletic trainers. The entire staff is certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association and has collectively more than 150 years of athletic training experience. Russ and his staff, along with a host of observation student athletic trainers, are responsible for the health and care of the 26 NCAA Division I sports at the University, which includes more than 750 student-athletes. Learn More about our offered Services and Testing

Each certified staff member is in charge of the health care of at least two varsity athletic teams. These responsibilities include covering practice and competition as well as traveling with the team as deemed appropriate. Specifically, the athletic trainer is responsible for evaluating and assessing athletic injuries, administering first aid and injury care, making medical referrals, and establishing treatments, rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries/illness. The athletic trainer also spends a significant amount of time in the education of student-athletes with respect to injury prevention, nutrition and psychological support in dealing with injuries. All staff athletic trainers are certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association and licensed by the state of Indiana.

The athletic training department is under the direct supervision of several sports medicine physicians. University physicians Dr. Jim Moriarity, Dr. Becky Moskwinski , Dr. Kevin McAward, Dr. Matt Leiszler, and Dr. Kathy Cahoon- serve as primary care physicians for health care needs of the student-athletes. Area orthopaedists Dr. Christopher Balint, Dr. Bob Clemency, Dr. Brian Ratigan, Dr. James Sieradski, and Dr. Mike Yergler oversee the orthopaedic needs for Irish athletes. Dr. Steve Simons oversees care of the track and field and cross country teams. The sports medicine department also utilizes the services of Dr. Jerry Hofferth as team chiropractor. Also available are a host of medical consultants to meet specific needs ranging from cardiology to dermatology. Dr. Moriarity, has earned honorary monograms from the Notre Dame Monogram Club.

The athletic training staff utilizes two state-of-the-art facilities to treat and rehabilitate injured athletes. The original athletic training room is located in the Joyce Center. The newest addition to the department is a 9,000-foot plus training facility in the state-of-the-art Loftus Athletics Training Facility which features new rehabilitation and treatment areas in addition to office space for staff.

There are alarming trends in professional-level injuries among youth sports participants. Orthopaedic surgeons see two trends: the number of youth injuries is reaching epidemic proportions and youth are experiencing overuse injuries at a younger and younger age. The high rate of youth sports injuries is fueled by an increase in overuse and trauma injuries and a lack of attention paid to proper injury prevention.

To address these issues, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and its collaborators created the STOP Sports Injuries Campaign. Learn more at StopSportsInjuries.org

The field of sports medicine is gaining in popularity and employment opportunities are expanding. The demand for Certified Athletic Trainers in particular is increasing. Certified Athletic Trainers are employed in secondary schools, colleges, universities, professional sports, hospitals, the military, law enforcement, performing arts, industry, sports medicine clinics and the durable medical equipment industry.

A career as a Certified Athletic Trainer requires a bachelor's degree at the entry level. If you're planning to attend a four-year college or university, Northampton's Sports Medicine: Athletic Training program is an affordable way to start your education. With a curriculum that parallels the first two years of most four-year programs, NCC's program can save you thousands of dollars on your undergraduate degree.

The Associate in Science degree in Sports Medicine with a concentration in Athletic Training is designed to prepare students to successfully transfer to a four year Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) accredited program. Students will also be prepared to transfer to other four year specialty programs within the realm of exercise science. In addition, students in our program develop a level of expertise in sports medicine that opens up additional employment opportunities as a personal trainer or health fitness instructor immediately upon graduation from NCC.

Students in the program learn basic skills in the prevention, emergency care, assessment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries to prepare them to pursue certification as an athletic trainer. Sports Medicine courses include on-campus labs and observational hours in a variety of professional settings. The Sports Medicine program can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Students pursuing the degree on a part-time basis are highly encouraged to complete the science related courses prior to entering the program specific courses (i.e. Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, etc.). The program requires students to have a good knowledge base in science and math to be successful. Students are advised to speak with an academic advisor to discuss their entrance and success in the program. Program Requirements

The Sports Medicine program requires a minimum of four academic semesters to complete. Students are admitted to the program once a year (August). Admission is on a competitive basis. Applicants shall have a high school diploma or GED.

Meeting the admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. Primary consideration is given to those students who have Bs in program sciences. If available spaces in the program are not filled by students who have met the aforementioned standards, the College reserves the right to accept students who have, in the judgment of the College, the potential to complete the Sports Medicine program.

Students who have been accepted to the Sports Medicine program will be required to submit:

In order to be considered, you must submit an application and all transcripts by February 1 for the Fall semester start date. Applications received after that date will be reviewed on a space available basis.

Endocrinology is the study of the endocrine system. Endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream that regulate the function of other cells and organ systems of the body. The endocrine system consists of separate glands such as the adrenals, thyroid, parathyroids, pituitary and pancreas. Common endocrine disorders include osteoporosis, diabetes and hypothyroidism.

An endocrinologist is a physician who studies and treats imbalances of the endocrine system. Endocrinologists play important roles in patient care and academic research. They are experts in their field and should serve as your main physician for endocrine disease-related problems.

The thyroid gland, located in the neck, makes and secretes thyroid hormone which affects nearly all tissues of the body. Its function is to regulate the bodys metabolism. Common thyroid problems include:

Hyperthyroidism the production of too much thyroid hormone. It can produce symptoms such as palpitations, sweating and weight loss.

Hypothyroidism the production of too little thyroid hormone. It can produce symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain and constipation.

Thyroiditis inflammation within the thyroid gland.

Goiters enlargements of the thyroid gland.

Solitary thyroid nodules growths within the thyroid gland.

Thyroid cancer a malignant growth within the thyroid gland.

The parathyroid glands are four small glands located behind the thyroid gland which secrete parathyroid hormone, controlling the bodys calcium levels.

Hyperparathyroidism a disease of calcium balance is one of the most common disorders of the parathyroid glands. The pancreas is located behind the stomach and secretes insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and other hormones. It controls blood sugar and glucose metabolism as well as helping control other endocrine cells of the digestive tract.

Diabetes is the most common disorder of the pancreas.

The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys and secrete adrenaline, aldosterone and cortisol. These hormones maintain salt balance, blood pressure, and help maintain fluid concentrations in the body. Common adrenal disorders include Addisons Disease, Cushings Syndrome, hyperaldosteronism and adrenal tumors.

The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain and secretes hormones which control the activity of other glands such as the ovaries, testes, adrenals and thyroid. Common pituitary disorders include pituitary tumors, such as prolactinomas and hypopituitarism, a disorder in which pituitary hormone secretion is abnormally low.

The members of our Endocrinology Group Practice specialize in endocrinology and metabolism disorders, including diabetes, osteoporosis, disorders of bone and calcium metabolism and disorders of the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands. We will work with you to evaluate your condition and prepare an individualized treatment plan to fit your needs.

All of our endocrinologists are board-certified in internal medicine, and endocrinology and metabolism.
