The Sports Medicine Department consists of certified athletic trainers working under the direction of team physicians to prevent, evaluate, and provide treatment and rehabilitation for injuries and illnesses sustained by GSU intercollegiate student-athletes.  GSU's primary athletic training facilities are located in the Sports Arena and the Football Practice Facility, with satellite facilities at the Baseball and Panthersville complexes.  In addition to managing injuries, GSU's athletic trainers work with specialists on campus and in the community to provide services in the areas of sports nutrition and sports psychology.

Drug Testing Policy: A comprehensive drug testing policy is in place to prevent and deter the use of banned and illegal substances by student-athletes, to protect the health and safety of student-athletes, and to promote fair competition and optimal performance.  The entire policy can be viewed by clicking here.
