Radford University Partnership Expands R adford University Athletics and VCOM entered a partnership to provide Highlander student- athletes a state-of-the-art 4,300 square foot sports medicine facility. In addition, Radford University Athletics will continue to be a training ground for young physicians in the VCOM Sports Medicine Fellowship. For several years, VCOM has provided the team physicians and medical director for Radford University Athletics. With this partnership, VCOM and Radford University ensure high-quality medical care for student-athletes for years to come.

The new VCOM Sports Medicine Center is the starting point for all of Radford University’s student-athletes’ health care needs. The clinic provides a positive setting for student- athletes, as well as an attraction for the recruitment of prospective student-athletes. With the new facility, all Sports Medicine providers (athletic trainers, team physicians, physical therapists and nutritionists) will be able to operate out of one central facility, helping to ensure enhanced communication and consistent care to all student-athletes.
